Weight limit placed on rural Moray bridge

A bridge in Moray is to have a weight limit imposed on it for the next 18 months due to its weakened condition.

Heavy Goods Vehicles weighing more than 7.5 tonnes will be barred from crossing Cappieshill Bridge from June 28 until Christmas next year.

The bridge is on the C31E Leuchars Road, south-east of the Milltown airfield.

A Moray Council spokesperson said: "Owing to protection of the weakened structure it will be necessary in the interests of public safety to apply the temporary restriction to traffic."
