When the Queensferry Crossing over the Forth Estuary opens at the end of 2016, it will be the third landmark bridge to be built spanning this short stretch of water. This 2.7km structure is lying alongside the existing road bridge and the historic rail bridge and is the centrepiece of the upgrade to Scotland’s key cross-Forth transport corridor.
Responsible for the construction is Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors – FCBC, a consortium of companies from Germany, Spain, the US and the UK.
