A95 Bridge [Grantown-on-Spey] (1863-1965)

Note: text in square brackets is added for clarity and was not part of the location's name.

Opened on the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway.

Description

South west of Grantown-on-Spey West station the A95 crossed under the Inverness and Perth Junction Railway. The bridge which carried the road under the line still stands to the west of the re-aligned road which now runs straight through the closed railway trackbed. There had been a tight bend on the approach to the bridge from the south west. This missing bridge is a major impediment to the re-opening of the Strathspey Railway (Preserved) from River Dulnain Viaduct to Grantown-on-Spey West.
