Description
This is a broad single arch mass concrete viaduct. It is 127.5 ft long, thought to be the longest such bridge when built. It is 86 ft high and approached by 20 ft arches at either end. The bridge has dressed stone additions and parapets, added for the benefit of the landowners at Arisaig House and Borrodale House (which are to the south). The bridge crosses the very deep chasm of the Borrodale Burn.
To the immediate east the line enters Borrodale Tunnel and to the west it continues to Larichmore Viaduct.
