Bridge, erected c. 1900. Single-track causeway runs between steel lattice-truses crossing the narrows between Loch Creran and the Lynn of Lorn. Granite abutments and single pier. The bridge, which has finialled railings along the trusses and flanking the N and S approaches, is gated.
F A Walker 2000.
This bridge carries what is probbaly a private road or track across the narrow channel of the Poll nan Ron, on the S side of the island of Eriska. It thus allows access to the Eriska Hotel (NM94SW 39.00).
The location assigned to this record is that of the (central) pier. The available map evidence [GIS AIB] suggests that it extends from NM c. 89828 42454 to NM c. 89809 to 42416.
