In 1939 a contract was let for the building of a masonry faced three-arch reinforced concrete bridge, but work was suspended at the outbreak of war before much progress had been made. It was not until 1959 that Rendel’s bridge was replaced by the present elegant pre-stressed
concrete bridge with a central span of 120 ft, composed of a 60 ft suspended span between two 30 ft cantilevers. The consulting engineers were Sir M. MacDonald & Partners and the contractors, Duncan Logan (Contractors) Ltd, Muir of Ord.
