This bridge carries Causewayhead Road (which here forms the A9) across the River Forth to the N of Stirling (NS79SE 154). It is depicted, but not noted, on the 1982 edition of the OS 1:10,000 map.

The location assigned to this record defines the mispoint of the structure. The available map evidence suggests that it extends from NS c. 79790 94490 to c. 79689 94440.
