Dunglass Bridge [NAT]

OS 1:10,000 map, 1987.

Formerly the A1 road bridge.

(Undated) information in NMRS.

(Location cited as NT 771 722). Bridge, Dunglass, built 1932 by engineers Blyth and Blyth. A reinforced-concrete bridge witha wide central span, with five arched ribs supporting smaller arches (five on each side). There are smaller approach spans at both ends.

J R Hume 1976.

This bridge carries the former line of the A1 public road over the Dunglass Burn, which flows in Dunglass Dean and here forms the boundary between the parishes of Oldhamstocks (East Lothian) and Cockburnspath (Berwickshire). It is the furthest upstream (to the SW) of the five bridges that form this group.
