Queensferry Bridge

Queensferry Bridge
The double-leaf Scherzer Rolling Lift Bridge over the tidal Dee at Queensferry was opened in 1926 to replace the 1897 Victoria Jubilee Bridge which incorporated a retractable timber structure. The new bridge was designed by Mott Hay and Anderson, and built by Sir William Arrol and Co. Ltd, for £83,051. The lifting spans, totalling 134ft are now fixed in place and the barges carrying Airbus wings have to arrive at a low enough state of the tide to allow headroom for them to pass.
