Bailey bridge over the River Orchy

[Coop]

Hi does anyone know if this is open yet/complete and open to walkers.

Cheers

Sounds like the bridge has been replaced but there is no access through the forestry yet:

"Due to tree felling work there is no access up the forest road from the new Bailey bridge or from the hills down the forest road to the Falls of Orchy car park. Access to the Caledonian Pinewoods in the upper forest will be available via a diversion through Bridge of Orchy." From https://scotland.forestry.gov.uk/visit/glen-orchy

Cheers pal.

" bridge is open mid March they said, bridge is complete now they say but you can't use it"- beats me!!
Hey ho

My guess is that the new bridge is not for walkers' convenience but for timber extraction!
