Kessock Bridge

The Kessock Bridge (Scottish Gaelic: Drochaid Cheasaig)[1] carries the A9 trunk road across the Beauly Firth at Inverness, Scotland.

It is the southernmost of the "Three Firths" crossings (Beauly, Cromarty and Dornoch) which has transformed road transport in the Highlands.

[citation needed] The bridge has been the focus of mental health concerns in recent years involving people at serious risk of harm and potential suicides.

The incidents have caused the bridge to be closed many times with traffic becoming heavy whilst they divert through local routes such as through Beauly.

[6] Prior to August 1982, travellers north of Inverness had the choice of the Kessock Ferry or a 20 mile journey via Beauly.

[14] Both programmes of work were performed by Stirling Lloyd Construction Limited using their "Eliminator" bridge deck waterproofing system in combination with Aeschlimann AG's Gussasphalt [de] impermeable surfacing material.
