The Forth Road Bridge with The New Queensferry Crossing Bridge to the left 14th August 2018

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 of the US. 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 adjacent Forth Bridge, opened in 1890.
The Scottish Parliament voted to scrap tolls on the bridge from February 2008.[5] By that time, the bridge was carrying traffic considerably in excess of its design capacity, and a parallel replacement was built. On 5 September 2017, all traffic was transferred to the new Queensferry Crossing.This allowed the Forth Road Bridge to be closed for repairs and also for realignment work on the approach roads to enable its new role as a "public transport corridor"; it was re-opened, limited to buses, taxis, cyclists and pedestrians, from 1 February 2018.
The bridge will also be utilised for other traffic in special circumstances, including for roadworks on the Queensferry Crossing, as happened in late November 2017.
At its peak, the Forth Road Bridge carried 65,000 vehicles per day (vpd), which is now expected to drop to only a few hundred.
