Dunipace Bridge is a substantial masonry arch bridge over the Carron, on a side road connecting the A833 and A876 roads near Bonnybridge. An inscription on the bridge states that it was built by Thomas Grey, mason, of Lesmahagow and Christopher Cairns, road contractor, of Stirling in 1825. It is a three-span segmental arch bridge 105 ft long, with spans of 28 ft, 32 ft and 28 ft. The surrounding countryside is flat and to give flood clearance there are ramped approaches with 1 in 25 gradients at each end of the bridge. In elevation the bridge parapet line is on a large radius arc, perhaps influenced by Telford’s practice.
