One of the few pedestrian bridges over the Great Glen, this was originally built when Thomas Telford constructed the main road along the Glen. Designed by James Dredge, he was instructed to create a single span across the river to reduce the chances of it washing away (as it had previously). When the A82 was upgraded in the early 20th Century a newer road bridge was built next door.
