Description
Inverbeg Bridge is a road bridge built on the line of the military road to Inveraray, dating from 1744 to 1750. A 20th-century datestone on the western parapet is inscribed 'Bridge built 1762/ ? widened 1914'. During the 1914 phase of work, the roadway was set on a curve, and new ashlar parapets were added.
The original bridge features a single-arch stone span with squared voussoirs and steel ties. The 1914 work, which extends the roadway to the east following the profile of the original arch, is made of concrete with ashlar facing and voussoirs. The parapets extend beyond the archway in both directions and are topped with rounded coping stones. At the north end, gates and square-plan rubble gatepiers enclose the gallery as private space, likely added when this bridge was bypassed in favor of its now-demolished pre- or early post-war successor further east.

It experiences an average of 59 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 98% of listed buildings. Of these, 37 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.
