Background
History
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. 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.
Architecture
The bridge is 75 m long and has two spans. The deck is cable-suspended. The main contractor was Morrison Construction and the steelwork was erected by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company.
