Railway and road bridge crossing the River Spey, built in 1863 by Alexander Gibb, engineer, and MacKinnon and Co of Aberdeen, ironfounders, for the Strathspey Railway. It is a handsome 3-rib, single segmental span cast-iron road and railway bridge, the latter closed. Lattice girders link arches to carriageways. The bridge springs from flanking bullfaced rubble abutment piers, with triangular cutwaters rising as canted refuges and it is flanked by segmental headed single flood arches. The approach wings are built into sloping river banks. There is a coped bullfaced rubble parapet, with ashlar band courses. The last such cast iron railway bridge to be built for railway traffic in Scotland, and the final heir to the Telford tradition of cast iron segmental spans. The bridge now carries an unclassified public road over the river. The approximate span of the main arch is 150 feet (46m), and the approximate span of the floor arches is 25 feet (8m).
