Unique Scottish bridge needs repair
IWA volunteers in Scotland are campaigning to repair Dunardry Bridge on the Crinan Canal.
As the only handoperated rolling bridge which goes across a lock chamber, it is a unique example of waterways heritage. Sadly, it has been out of operation for a number of years. IWA hopes that Scottish Canals will include it in this winter’s works on the Crinan Canal.
While there are other moveable bridges across lock chambers and other rolling bridges, Dunardry Bridge is the only example of both. As such, IWA is working with Scottish Canals to explore workable options for its repair.
