Шаблон:Infobox bridge Bishopmill Bridge is a road bridge in Elgin, Moray, Scotland.

History

The first bridge at the site opened in 1814. In 1830, a replacement designed by William Robertson of Elgin was opened.[1] Structural defects were found in the bridge which led to it being replaced again in 1871 with a new structure designed by John Willet.[2][3]

In 1988 a new road bridge was constructed adjacent to the existing Bishopmill Bridge allowing the older bridge to be used exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists.[4] This followed the completion of the A96 inner relief road in 1981 which the bridge is connected to.[5][6]

As part of the Elgin flood alleviation scheme, the old Bishopmill bridge was replaced. The new footbridge, named Lossie Wynd Footbridge, was opened in 2015.[7][8][1]

Design

The old Bishopmill bridge, now removed, was Category B listed.[4]

The 1988 road bridge has a Шаблон:Convert wide roadway and pavements on both sides. It has a span of Шаблон:Convert and is of concrete and steel construction.[9]
