Le pont routier de Cubzac mesure 553 mètres et est divisé en 8 travées. Ce pont routier construit par Gustave Eiffel entre 1879 et 1883, pour la route nationale 10 entre Hendaye et Paris.
Le pont de Cubzac est construit sur les bases de l’ancien pont suspendu qui avait été emporté par une tempête.
Le pont fut détruit pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale puis rebâti par le petit-fils de Gustave Eiffel. Sa rampe d’accès est supportée par des arcades de pierre qui, vues de dessous, ont une allure de cathédrale gothique.
The island sits below the Forth Railway Bridge c1882 - 1890. and has a long history going back to 1491. It became of renewed importance to the security of the Firth of Forth during the First and Second World Wars, during which, in combination with fortifications on Inchcolm, and gun emplacements on the mainland to the north (at North Queensferry) and to the south (at Dalmeny), it became a primary defence against air and submarine attacks on the Forth Bridge and the Rosyth Dockyard. The gun emplacements were permanently manned throughout war.
