Skye Bridge, Road bridge in Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland
The Skye Bridge spans 500 meters across Loch Alsh with a prestressed concrete and steel structure reaching 35 meters in height.
Constructed between 1992 and 1995, this bridge replaced the traditional ferry services that connected the Isle of Skye to mainland Scotland.
The bridge holds both English and Gaelic names, reflecting the bilingual heritage of the Highland region where it stands.
Vehicles crossing the bridge via route A87 can access the Isle of Skye throughout the year without depending on weather conditions.
The main span extends 250 meters over Loch Alsh, making it a noteworthy example of modern concrete bridge engineering in Scotland.
