The Jubilee Bridge is a 254 m (833 ft) road bridge over the River Tay near Dunkeld in Scotland.[1][2] The bridge conveys the A9 road over the river.[3] A concrete box bridge also joins the Jubilee Bridge at its southern end as it carries the A9 over the Highland Main Line. The area of the River Tay below the bridge is accessible for personal watercraft and walkers.[4][3] As part of the A9 dualling project, the bridge will be duplicated by 2032.[5]
