King Charles officially opens Moxon’s latest bridge project

Moxon Architects, in collaboration with civil and structural engineers Arcadis, has successfully completed the construction of the Gairnshiel Jubilee Bridge in rural Aberdeenshire, located in the eastern part of the Cairngorms National Park.

The bridge, named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, was officially opened to the public on Thursday, 5th October 2023 by King Charles. The new crossing serves the dual purpose of diverting highway traffic away from the historic Category A-listed Gairnshiel Bridge, a partly military structure dating back to 1749, while also establishing a north-south link between Deeside and Speyside.
