Landshut Bridge

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.

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. The bridge was completed in July 2014.

The bridge is 75 metres (246 feet) 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.
