forth road bridge









































the forth road bridge is a suspension bridge in east central scotland. the bridge opened in 1964 and at the time was the largest suspension bridge in the world outside the usa. the bridge spans the firth of forth, connecting edinburgh, at queensferry, to fife, at north queensferry. it replaced a centuries-old ferry service to carry vehicular traffic, cyclists and pedestrians across the forth; railway crossings are made by the nearby forth bridge, opened in 1890.

dehumidification work on the forth road bridge was successful in halting the corrosion of the main cables, so there is now no requirement to close the existing forth road bridge to traffic. the forth road bridge will, as a result, be incorporated into the road network alongside the new bridge, the queensferry crossing, and will provide a dedicated public transport crossing, remaining available as a diversionary route in the event the new bridge has to be closed.
