THE installation of a new bridge over the River Lossie in Elgin has been delayed.
A replacement for the Red Brig, near Decora, was due to be lowered into position this week.
That’s now been pushed back due to the unavailability of a crane and it will now be installed on December 17.
The new 25-metre crossing for pedestrians and cyclists forms part of Elgin’s £86 million flood alleviation scheme, scheduled for completion in May next year.
It is also an integral part of the cycle path that will run through the town, along parts of the flood defences.
