The Kessock Bridge carries the A9 road connecting Inverness and the Black Isle. The bridge crosses the narrows between the Beauly and Moray Firths and has a total length of 1056 m with a cable-stayed main span of 240 m. Construction of the bridge took four years and it opened in 1982. Prior to that, the main route north had to take a 20 mile detour inland. Alternatively there was a small ferry operating between South and North Kessock.
