Acrow Is Building A New Bridge To Glen Cannich In The Highlands Of Scotland. New Prefabricated Modular Steel Bridge Replaces Muchrachd Bridge Over Cannich River Acrow Bridge, a leading international bridge engineering and supply company, is close to Retro Bridge client for Scottish Highland Council and McGregor Construction contractor, which will replace Muchrachd Bridge at Glen Cannich announced the successful opening of the bridge it supplied at the same time. The new bridge weighs 120 tons, is 52 meters long, features a prefabricated modular steel single-girder structure, and serves as a lifeline path for the residents of Glen Cannich as well as providing access for a large utility company close to Mullardoch Dam. On behalf of the new bridge and McGregor Construction's lead team, Drew Hendry, the Highland Council and Leader of the Aird and Loch Ness Area Councils, stated the following; “Works such as connecting rural highlands are vital. The members of the Highland Council and the contractor should be congratulated for the effort put in and the work they have done to bring this project to life, not only in terms of budget but also in terms of the program. The bridge is an incredible change and will enable society to function effectively for many years to come.”
He worked with UK's modular bridge specialist Retro Bridge, who worked with McGregor Construction to replace the original two-girder, timber-built Bailey Bridge built more than 50 years ago as Muchrachd Bridge. Bill Killeen, President and CEO of Acrow, stated the following; “The new bridge should make life even easier for local residents”. “The old bridge had weight restrictions forcing large vehicles such as tractors and fuel tankers to cross the river using the river crossing, which posed a major challenge. With the new fully functional bridge, local residents now easily cross the bridge for important supplies such as animal feed and fuel. The old bridge lasted for 50 years and the new Acrow Bridge will have a much longer service life ”.
