Synopsis of Work Undertaken
Allt Damh Bridge (northernmost)
was stabilised only, and work done to protect the abutment on the south
side from flood damage when the burn was/is in spate. Previously much
of the stone work of the bridge had been re-used elsewhere!
Delavine Bridge was
damaged by undermining of the north east section of the footings with
the burn migrating. The bridge was largely intact, and was jacked back
into place, new footings and roadway replacing the damaged section.
The rest of the bridge was stabilised with the original cobble surface
recovered with turves to protect the surface and the bridge from too
much water percolation.
Tornahaish Bridge was
the best preserved, with the bridge still taking vehicular traffic before
the start of the project! A new ford was established, and boulders to
prevent vehicle movements. The bridge surfaces were repointed, and should
now be stabilised for another century of so.
Project management by Gordon Enterprise Trust
and Enterprise North East Trust – who undertake a wide range of
tourism and community projects at the behest of local groups.
