Garbat Bridge

Garvat Bridge, with the old abutments alongside

Garbat Bridge spans the Allt a Gharbh Bhaid immediately to the north of Garbat on the A835. The bridge is a concrete structure and of a later date than many of the other bridges on the A835, dating from 1969. It carrys an S2 road with footways on the both sides. It was built to replace an older, narrower span which lay immediately to the west of the existing bridge, where the abutments remain. The line of the old road can easily be found to the north and south, with patches of old tarmac still visible in between the grass and heather.
