Description

This bridge, located on King Street in Inverkeithing, was built between 1873 and 1877. It features a single span with an elliptical arch made of snecked bull-faced rubble. The bridge has square bull-faced voussoirs and stepped bull-faced coped parapets, with a coped rubble wall at angles. There are also two painted cast-iron framed diamond lattice panel footbridges situated further south at the foot of Port Street and behind the Inveresk Plc papermill, which includes a ramp and stair. The structure is supported by tapered octagonal cast-iron columns and has chamfered square plan newel posts topped with pyramidal caps.
