All 22 prefabricated concrete parapets have now been installed for the new structure, which will replace the existing bridge carrying the A862 over the main Inverness to Dingwall rail line.
Recent surfacing works to the west of the new bridge have also bee completed, allowing vehicles to switch away from the existing route on to a new temporary surface.

Alongside utility works, the western wing-walls have been poured and work has begun on pouring the copes of the eastern retaining wall which will support the vehicle safety barrier.
Other works currently underway include drainage, up-filling, and construction of the new North West Road – Corrie Road junction.
The council said it is estimated traffic will be able to start using the new structure, under traffic management, in February, while demolition of the existing bridge is expected to begin in March.
The overall development is scheduled for completion by the end of May.
