In 2009 Forestry Commission Scotland commissioned C Shepherd to undertake a survey and assessment of those parts of the 18th century Military Road network crossing the National Forest Estate in Inverness, Ross & Skye, Lochaber and North Highland Forest Districts. During the survey of Inchnacardoch forest, this bridge was recorded and photographed. The bridge springings appeared to survive well on both sides of the Road and the river, with the bridge approached by revetted sides made of well-laid boulders. The present track still utilise the springings to support the modern superstructure. <1>
