Scope and Content New Bridge, Causewayhead Road, Stirling This shows the bridge from the Old Bridge, looking south-east. The structure has the slight rise, flat segmental arches and slender piers of refined bridge design of the period, and the radial masonry courses favoured by Stevenson. This bridge carried main road traffic until the 1960s, when a by-pass was built, and still carries local traffic. It was, until the building of the Kincardine Bridge, opened in 1936, the lowest road crossing of the River Forth. This masonry arch bridge was completed in 1831 to designs by Robert Stevenson, engineer, to replace the late medieval Old Bridge, which was too narrow, and had too steep a rise, for coach traffic. The design of Stevenson's bridge reflected ideas which had been developed in France in the 1700s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
