There's a wooden rail inside the metal; you can see the wood on the path side in the picture. Also, the majority of boats going through are wooden, and the water being displaced through the gap helps too.

But yes, it's a very narrow fit. With a decent pub at the north end.

Craigellachie Bridge is a cast iron arch bridge across the River Spey at Craigellachie, near to the village of Aberlour in Moray, Scotland. It was designed by the renowned civil engineer Thomas Telford and built from 1812–1814. The bridge has a single span of approximately 46 metres (151 ft) and was revolutionary for its time, in that it used an extremely slender arch which was not possible using traditional masonry construction.
