This bridge carries the A838 public road over the Achuvoldrach Burn, a short distance W of the Kyle of Tongue.

The bridge carries the former A838 public road over the Achuvoldrach Burn, which is now a minor track around the head of the Kyle of Tongue as the main road is now bypassed onto the new bridge and causeway (NC55NE 50).
