The South Esk bridge carries the A92 into Montrose. It crosses parallel to the railway bridge slightly inland giving great views past this and into the Montrose Basin. Looking the other way out along the river towards the sea you can see the lifeboat station on the northern bank and the industrial fishing harbour.
Riding across the bridge is fun and allows you to do a loop of the scenic Montrose Basin and the coast south and north of Montrose.

Road cycling

The path on the ‘harbour-facing side’ is a shared-use (pedestrians/cyclists) one. Feel free to use it, perhaps even for a short stop to enjoy a different view of the (sometimes big) ships 🚢 that anchor there.
