This bridge, carrying the approach road to the Isle of Eriska Hotel over an arm of the sea, consists of two double-triangular Warren truss spans of 74 ft. The girders are of riveted steel 412 ft deep overall with raking supports to their top flanges. The bridge has approach railings and ornamental iron gates for closing the bridge. The bridge, which probably dates from ca.1900, has a timber deck 12 ft wide and a 20 ton weight restriction.
