The bridge over the River Dee at Kirkcudbright was built in 1926 by the engineers Mouchel. It provided a direct route west out of the town, rather than having to head north via Tongland Bridge first. However, old maps suggest that there may have been an earlier bridge on the site.
The bridge is a massive 5 span reinforced concrete structure, where each span is supported by tied arch trusses overhead. Unlike many other similar structures, the arches are not tied across the carriageway, mainly because they are too shallow to then allow traffic through! Below the spans the piers are paired and while only two stand in the river at low tide, at high tide all are partially submerged.
The bridge is signed as a Weak Bridge with a 17T weight limit, and for some unknown reason, has Wig-Wag signs at either end.
