A collaborative lighting strategy at Mountfleurie Bridge, Levenmouth
The new Mountfleurie Bridge creates a vital pedestrian connection across the reinstated rail corridor forming part of the Levenmouth Rail Link. Commissioned by Fife Council, delivered via Network Rail, and constructed by Story Contracting, the 102-metre bridge strengthens connectivity within Levenmouth while supporting active travel and wider regeneration objectives. Lighting such a structure required a solution that balanced visual performance, capital efficiency and environmental sensitivity.
delivering uniformity across 102 metres
At 102 metres in length and 4 metres in width, Mountfleurie Bridge is long by UK rail footbridge standards. With luminaires mounted at 1.4 metres above finished floor level, the system uses a staggered, interleaved arrangement of luminaires to deliver consistent deck illumination across the full span while avoiding unnecessary spill into the surrounding semi-rural landscape.
