Manners in conjunction with the Rose Street Foundry for a cost of £1,400.It is composed of two side spans of 20.4 metres (67 ft) and a central span of 61.3 metres (201 ft). The bridge has warren trusses with an additional railing for pedestrian safety. The cables were replaced in 1952, as were the anchorages in 1989.An important rite of passage for young Invernesians involves getting a third of the way onto the bridge and jumping up and down in unison.
