Quite agree. However x4 weeks ago the cycle lanes on the Keswick bridge were closed for repairs.Chris Ince wrote: ↑10 Sep 2021, 10:12am At Inverness rather than go to Beauly on south side of Beauly Firth I would go over the Keswick Bridge, down to North Keswick and follow the very pleasant minor road that hugs the north shore of Beauly Firth. When you come up to the junction with A832 turn left to Muir of Ord. Right here on A 862 to Dingwall. At Dingwall take the Old Evanton Road to Evanton and then the Scotsburn Road to Tain. If you are in no hurry, go to JoG via Lairg and B871 to Bettyhill. Otherwise, via A9, it’s less problematic than your average B road in southern England:)
I declined the option of diversion and lifted bike & panniers over the barrier, turned on rear light and cycled over. Not to be recommended but light traffic got me through.
I'd be interested to hear if it's reopened.
