Torvean (Swing) Bridge, at the Caledonian Canal in Inverness, will be closed to traffic from 8am on Monday 15 November for a week to allow planned maintenance to be carried out.

It is scheduled to reopen on Sunday 21 November at 5:30pm. The adjacent Tomnahurich Bridge will remain open to traffic during this time to minimise any impact on journey times.

This work is planned maintenance and inspection works following its opening earlier this year as part of the Inverness West Link Phase 2 Project.

The timing of the works will coincide with the planned road closure over the weekend of the 20 and 21 November, during which the Inverness Rowing Club Head Races will take place on the Caledonian Canal.

The Highland Council would like to apologise for any inconvenience.
