This bridge carries the former line of the A82 public road across the River Moriston immediately NW of its successor bridge (NH41NW 11.01) and a short distance above the debouchement of the river into Loch Ness. The river here forms the boundary between the parishes of Urquhart and Glenmoriston (to the N) and Boleskine and Abertarff (to the S).
