Description
Johnstone Bridge is a road bridge designed by engineers Blyth and Blyth, dated 1939. It features a single segmental arch that carries a dual carriageway over the River Annan. The bridge was widened sympathetically around 1980, maintaining its original profile. It is constructed of reinforced concrete and is clad in bull-faced red ashlar, mostly snecked. The parapets are channelled and have massive drum terminals. Inscribed stones from an earlier bridge built in 1818 by Thomas Telford are set near the southern end of each parapet.

Johnstone Bridge sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,290 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 85% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 32 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
