Description
Dirniemow Bridge is a vehicular bridge that spans the Cross Water of Luce, oriented on a north-south axis. Originally built after 1813, it was rebuilt in 1984. The bridge features a single span with a low segmental arch, constructed from rubble with rubble voussoirs. It has granite slab coping, and the wingwalls are finished with granite-capped square piers. Inside the eastern parapet, there is a plaque that reads "Rebuilt 1984."
