Landshut Bridge is a road bridge in Elgin, Moray, Scotland which crosses the River Lossie.
The bridge is named after Landshut in Bavaria, Germany, a twin town of Elgin.[1][2]
Historyedit
The previous bridge
The bridge was designed as part of the Elgin Flood Alleviation Scheme as a replacement for Pansport Bridge, which was in the same location. Landshut Bridge is longer and has an additional span in order to cross a second channel of the River Lossie added as part of the flood alleviation project.[3]
Construction began in 2011. A temporary bridge was installed adjacent to the construction site to allow Pansport Bridge to be demolished and Landshut Bridge to be constructed.[4] The bridge was completed in July 2014.[5]
