Bridges

• Within Wick, the Harbour Bridge spans the river at its mouth, to link Wick town centre with Wick Harbour and Pulteneytown. It stands instead of the earlier Service Bridge.
• Also in Wick, the river is spanned by the main road linking John o' Groats with Latheron and Inverness. The bridge here is known as the Bridge of Wick and it carries an extension of Wick’s Bridge Street.
• Around 500 metres west of the Bridge of Wick, a footbridge spans the river via an island in the river, and this serves as a link between recreational meadows on the north and south banks.
• About halfway between the footbridge and the railway bridge there is another footbridge.
• Around 300 metres east of Mary Ford, the river is crossed by the railway which links the burgh of Wick with the burgh of Thurso and the city of Inverness.
• In Watten, the river is crossed by the main highway, A882, linking Wick with Thurso, known as Achingale Bridge.
