Summary

Description

A major river crossing near Edinburgh Scotland. It's flanked by the famous "Forth Bridge" - a massive railway bridge which dates from 1890 and the new "Queensferry crossing" a cable-stayed road bridge which opened in 2017.

Each has their own features and design. Together they are an amazing sight.

The original road bridge, seen here in the evening light was opened in 1964. I was taken across it on the day of opening.

The second road bridge (nearby) was needed due to the large volume of traffic and structural problems with the original (the one seen here).
