Broken Inverness bridge could be out of action until Thursday

A bridge in Inverness could be out of action until Thursday.

The Torvean swing bridge, which was built as part of the West Link Road project, has been closed again.

It is unclear how long it has been closed but it was seen to be out of action last night.

The nearby Tomnahurich swing bridge is working normally.

When asked about the situation, a spokeswoman for Highland Council stated: “It is expected to reopen tomorrow or Thursday once repairs are carried out. The parts required are not off-the-shelf components and have to be manufactured. The old bridge will remain operational during this time.”
