The road ran across the Loyne over a stone arch bridge.

Occasionally the bridge has been visible when water levels are low in the loch.

[7] Prior to the 1950s, the loch was originally much smaller being fed only by the naturally occurring River Loyne.

[1] However, as part of a wider Hydroelectric scheme, a dam was constructed in 1956 and completed in 1957 that increased the water level and flooded the original road built by Thomas Telford.

Water proceeds north from the dam via a tunnel into Loch Cluanie.
