Queensferry Crossing across the Firth of Forth to open to traffic
Long-awaited crossing joins Forth road and rail bridges connecting Edinburgh and Fife, with hope of queue-free travel for motorists
Britain’s newest road bridge, suspended by 23,000 miles of cables over the Firth of Forth, has opened to traffic.
At 1.6 miles (2.7km) in length, the Queensferry Crossing is the longest bridge of its type in the world and, at 210m (689ft) high, Britain’s tallest, say its designers. For motorists, only one thing will matter: the new crossing promises a queue-free drive home at motorway speeds.
