Cross this bridge when you come to it.....!

Congratulations to the team for a project well done! This bridge over the the Burn of Coire between Tormore and Cromdale replaces two sets of stepping stones that were proving somewhat hazardous in flood conditions.
The main construction work was carried out by an army training unit and the ancillary works by Speyside Way Ranger staff. Other ground works were done by Tulchan Estate - thank you for your assistance with this project. The bridge had its first test very soon after completion in the flooding of 3rd and 4th September. Ironically, the main threat to the bridge did not come directly from the burn, but from water pouring off the fields above. The test was passed!
