The bridge and causeway were built by Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners in 1971 to carry the A838, the road from Thurso to Durness, across the loch.[1][2] Until 1956 there had been a passenger ferry but the route around the head of the loch involved a narrow road some ten miles long.[3] The causeway is {{convert|3.8|km}} long and it crosses a natural island, Tongue Island (Scottish Gaelic: Eilean Thunga).[4][4] The {{convert|183|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} bridge is at the western end of the causeway and it has eighteen spans supported by twin piers.[5][6] The bridge was fully refurbished in 2011.[6][7] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Kyle of Tongue Bridge and Causeway|url=http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/129802/details/kyle+of+tongue+bridge+and+causeway/|work=Canmore|publisher=Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland|accessdate=1 February 2014}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Tongue Bridge to open in August|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2507&dat=19710326&id=suA9AAAAIBAJ&sjid=S0gMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6754,5100828|accessdate=1 February 2014|newspaper=Glasgow Herald|date=26 March 1971}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Tongue|url=http://www.discoversutherland.co.uk/tongue.php|work=Discover Sutherland|accessdate=1 February 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Kyle of Tongue Bridge|url=http://her.highland.gov.uk/SingleResult.aspx?uid=MHG28450|work=Historic Environmental record|publisher=Highland Council|accessdate=1 February 2014}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|title=Kyle of Tongue Causeway|url=http://www.scottish-places.info/features/featurefirst16882.html|work=Gazetteer for Scotland|publisher=Gazetteer for Scotland|accessdate=1 February 2014}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|title=Kyle of Tongue Causeway|url=http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Kyle_of_Tongue_Causeway|publisher=SABRE|accessdate=1 February 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Kyle of Tongue Bridge|url=http://www.concrete-repairs.co.uk/kyle-of-tongue.php|publisher=Concrete Repairs Limited|accessdate=1 February 2014}} 5 : Bridges completed in 1971|Bridges in Highland (council area)|Concrete bridges in the United Kingdom|Road bridges in Scotland|Buildings and structures in Sutherland |
