The modern route of the A830 crosses Telford\'s meandering road

The new bridge on the A830 just to the east of Arisaig, with the railway viaduct behind.

The new bridge over the Beasdale Burn. This section of the A830 was widened on line, the bridge built in two halves to maintain traffic flow.

Believe it or not this muddy stripe was the road under a year earlier! The barrier for the new A830 can be seen to the left.

The old road coming to an abrupt end in front of the embankment of the new A830 near Arisaig House

A pond where the road had been a year before, on the new section of the A830 east of Arisaig

I have seen 60 mph signs being used instead of NSL signs in rural areas and as repeaters but I was surprised to see these two at the end of the 40 mph limit in Corpach today.

A830 swing bridge

An unusual view of the swing bridge on the A830 at Banavie, where the road crosses the Caledonian Canal. The bridge has been swung to allow canal traffic (notice the masts on the left) to pass through. Photo taken from the rail swing bridge which lies adjacent.
