Found two previous incarnations of the A9. The oldest and westmost bridge which the GPS led to is all but gone. An old concrete footbridge is on the site of the west parapet. The middle bridge, now part of Sustrans cycle route 7, has handrails for parapets. Like a life saving machine, there comes a time where one has switch off the GPS and declare the FB dead.

Old bridge has no parapets; does have a small rivet.
