The original B906 crossed the River Forth, via a ferry, to the south of Alloa. The route turned off the A905 at Kersie Mains, and followed Ferry Road north to the Forth at South Alloa. Here, a ferry plied across the river; although it seems doubtful if it carried vehicles even in 1922, it is still marked as a ferry on post-war OS maps. The northern arm of the B906 followed Glasshouse Loan to meet the old route of the A907 at Grange Road / Bedford Place. This saw it pass through Alloa Harbour, now completely over-built as an industrial site.
The B906 still existed on both sides of the Forth in the 1970s, even though the ferry did not, but the road is now quite naturally unclassified throughout.
The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: South Kersie - Alloa
