Chisholm Bridge crosses the Abhainn Gleann nam Fiadh where it flows into Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin in Glen Affric. It carries the C1112 road on a single lane, high above the water. The bridge is a surprisingly large concrete structure with three spans, with the river passing through the central span only. The parapets are built from timber, bolted onto narrow concrete strips either side of the narrow roadway. Despite there being a high number of pedestrians and cyclists in the glen, there is no pavement provision for them over the bridge. The length of the structure means that at busy times traffic has to wait for oncoming vehicles to cross before proceeding, although there is good visibility across the bridge.
The current bridge is a relatively modern structure, which replaces an older crossing of which nothing obvious survives. Old OS maps suggest that the public road previously ended at the junction with the forest road immediately to the north of the bridge, and indeed the C1112 is still listed as terminating at the bridge, although it is not clear which side of the river this is. The fact that this new bridge has been built suggests that the road across it is now adopted by the council, so the C1112 may now extend to the south side of the bridge.
