  • Skye Bridge – Economic Impact Study
    THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Agenda Item 27 June 2002 Report No SKYE BRIDGE – ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY Report by Director of Planning & Development SUMMARY Outlines the background leading to the commissioning of this report from Napier University, reviews the findings which point to the present Bridge tolls regime as suppressing the economy of Skye, and presents the case for early reduction in the level of charges incurred by users. 1. Introduction 1.1 The Skye Bridge was built under a PFI agreement financed through the Bank of America. It opened to traffic in October 1995 and operates as a toll crossing under a concession granted from the Scottish Executive to Skye Bridge Ltd. The tolls were based on the tariff for the ferry which previously served the crossing and are the highest in the UK. A discount ticket arrangement for local users was introduced in 1998. 1.2 The Highland Council has consistently sought to persuade Government that the tolls regime is unfair and has supported moves towards a toll free bridge as quickly as possible. At the Policy Committee meeting on 11 October 2001, it was agreed to refocus efforts away from legal challenge in favour of the economic arguments. A further report to the Committee on 5 December 2001 noted that the last research commissioned by the Council dated back to 1996. It was agreed to sponsor further investigation of the cost and associated impacts of toll revenues on the local economy, and the level of additional growth that might be generated by the removal of tolls. 1.3 The contract was awarded to Professor Ronald McQuaid and Malcolm Greig based at the Employment Research Institute and Transport Research Institute, Napier University.

  • Evaluation of the Economic and Social Impacts of the Skye Bridge
    Highlands and Islands Enterprise and HITRANS Evaluation of the Economic and Social Impacts of the Skye Bridge Final Report 22 February 2007 26 Palmerston Place, Edinburgh, EH12 5AL, Tel 0870 350 4200, Fax 0871 250 4200 email [email protected], web www.dhc1.co.uk Skye Bridge Socio Economic Impact Study - Final Report Executive Summary It is now over 10 years since the bridge opened, and on 21 December 2004 the tolls were removed from the crossing. This report: reviews the available data and previous research, reports the results of an extensive new survey programme, assesses the scale of the impacts which have occurred, and reviews the lessons learned. The work has been undertaken by staff from DHC with detailed support and advice from Peter Mackie and James Laird at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds. The transport changes have been significant, affecting the time, cost, comfort, convenience, reliability, and image of travelling to Skye. Fixed links to islands have the potential to deliver step changes in quality of life to island residents and profitability to businesses. The most significant journey time change was when new ferries were introduced in 1992. Once the bridge was opened, cost replaced time as the most important factor affecting the accessibility of Skye, and substantial cost savings for travellers were subsequently made in 2004 when the tolls were removed. Changes in travel There has been a significant increase in vehicle traffic on the Kyle-Kyleakin crossing since 1985. The introduction of the 24 hour ferry made little difference to traffic growth, but a significant jump of about 20% was experienced in traffic levels as a result of the change from the ferry to the tolled bridge.

  • The Bridges of Scotland
    THE BRIDGES OF SCOTLAND By James Macnaughton INTRODUCTION No one who has visited the country described in Hamish McCunn’s evocative tone poem as “The Land of the Mountain and the Flood” can deny that its spectacular and very varied landscapes prove that it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. As indicated, the two main elements involved are the ancient mountains and the rainy climate. The latter has resulted in countless thousands of streams and rivers flowing down from the high tops to the sea coasts, and these have had a major effect on the lives of the inhabitants, because trying to cross them, particularly when in spate after heavy rain, could be very dangerous and over the millennia many lives were lost. To ease travel throughout the country fords or ferry boats were used where applicable, but obviously the more permanent and safer alternative was a bridge, and it is these ingenious and vital structures and their effect on Scottish history which I would like to look at in all their varying sizes, shapes and materials, some merely practical, others very beautiful. Bridges were and are so important that many towns and villages were named after them: Carr Bridge, Bridge of Don, Spean Bridge, Bridge of Earn, Coatbridge and most evocative of all – Rumbling Bridge – among many others. Of the thousands existing, I am going to choose a selection of the more interesting, showing how the ingenious and skilful bridge builders overcame seemingly impossible natural obstacles.
