Kyle of Tongue Bridge, Road bridge in Sutherland, Scotland.
The Kyle of Tongue Bridge extends 183 meters across the estuary, featuring eighteen spans supported by twin concrete piers along its length.
The bridge, designed by Alexander Gibb and constructed in 1971, replaced a ferry service that operated in the area until 1956.
The structure connects communities across the Kyle of Tongue sea loch, integrating with the Scottish Highland transportation network along the A838 route.
The combined bridge and causeway system reduces the previous journey time around the head of the loch by eliminating a 16-kilometer detour.
The bridge stands on seventeen pairs of splayed stilts embedded into molded concrete beams, designed to withstand strong tidal forces.
