Friarton Bridge [NAT]

OS 1:10,000 map, 1994.

This bridge carries the M90 motorway over the River Tay to the SE of Perth (NO12SW 100), at a point where the river forms the boundary between the parishes of Perth (to the S) and Kinfauns (to the N). It also the Perth-Dundee railway line and the westbound carriageway of the A85 public road, in both cases to the N of the river. The S end of the bridge is significantly higher than the N.

The location assigned to this record defines the centre of the span. The avaiable map evidence suggests that the structure extends from NO c. 13173 21880 to NO c. 12831 21224.
