This is a handsome three-arched structure of rubble masonry with cut-water piers. All the arches are segmental in form, the central one, which has a span of 7.3m, rising to a height of 3.25m above water-level. The overall length of the bridge is 32m and the roadway has a width of 3.7m.
The bridge was erected to serve the road carried up the east coast of Jura under the direction of the Commissioners for Highland Roads and Bridges during the first decade of the 19th century). The structure was compleled in 1809-10 to a design of David Wilson, road engineer in Lochgilphead, at a cost of #394 17 Od., the builders being William Morrison and Peter McEwan, masons at Lochgilphead, as subcontractors under Archibald Campbell of Jura.
