  • Firth of Forth Bridges

    Firth of Forth Bridges

    Historic Bridge Foundation Facebook Archives Focus Bridges: Firth of Forth Bridges September 2017 The Firth of Forth in Scotland is a unique location— perhaps one of the only locations in the world where three centuries of large-scale bridge design and construction can be seen side by side. Here, three parallel bridges cross the Firth of Forth: the 1890 Forth Rail Bridge, the 1964 Forth Road Bridge, and the 2017 Queensferry Crossing. The Forth Rail Bridge is a steel cantilever through truss, and one of a small number of bridges in the world to be designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was awarded in 2015. The UNESCO World Heritage designation not only recognizes the bridge’s "outstanding universal value" but also confirms its protection and preservation as a heritage structure. Among the most famous bridges in the world, the Forth Rail Bridge was the longest cantilever truss bridge in the world when it was completed in 1890. The 1917 Quebec Bridge in Canada is the only bridge to have surpassed its span among cantilever truss bridges. Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker designed the Forth Rail Bridge and construction began in 1882. It is unique for its use of massive tubular members and is also one of the first large-scale uses of steel in bridges rather than wrought iron. It remains in use by trains today, and was fully blasted and repainted for the first time starting in 2002. The bridge's overall length is 8,093 feet and the main spans are 1,700 feet each.

    Forth Road Bridge Suspended Span Under Deck Access (SSUDA) Improvements – Phase 6 NGR 312541, 679746 (Centre Point)

    Transport Scotland EC DIRECTIVE 97/11 (as amended) ROADS (SCOTLAND) ACT 1984 (as amended) RECORD OF DETERMINATION Name of Project: Location: Forth Road Bridge Forth Road Bridge Suspended Span Under Deck Access (SSUDA) Improvements – Phase 6 NGR 312541, 679746 (centre point) DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT BEAR Scotland (BEAR) has been commissioned by Transport Scotland to undertake Suspended Span Under Deck Access (SSUDA) improvement works on the Forth Road Bridge (FRB). The bridge spans the Firth of Forth between South Queensferry and North Queensferry (Appendix A, Figure 1 and Figure 2). The FRB SSUDA system was designed and installed in 1981 and travels the full 1821 m length of the bridge. It is used for inspection of the suspended span and for carrying out minor remedial works such as painting, replacing bolted connections and maintenance of the deck half joints. The FRB SSUDA system is comprised of walkways made of steel angle and channel sections connected through plated, bolted or welded connections. The walkway mesh is supported on longitudinally spanning angle sections with a maximum span of 3.86 m centres between the walkway hangers. The walkway hangers are mainly standard to each line; however, several bespoke hangers exist to avoid collision with the bridge structure or public utilities. The two walkways below the pedestrian footpaths / cycleways are designated as the ‘A-Lines’. The walkways below each carriageway are the ‘C-Lines’, and the ‘D-Line’ is below the central reservation. The longitudinal stiffening truss, or ‘top chord’ is designated as the ‘B-Line’, from which are suspended temporary ‘B-Line hangers’.

  • Congestion Charging

    Congestion Charging

    No.StB dliilI Edinburgh. In C!4! wontrasts Look at www.transportedinburgh.info for Facts Without Spin Congestion Charging - a Community Perspective 20 Reasons Why You Should Vote Against Congestion Charging Despite the hundreds of concerns and objections expressed at the May 2004 Congestion Charging Public Inquiry, the City of Edinburgh Council remains determined to press ahead with a flawed congestion charging scheme. More than twelve community councils and local organisations took part in the public inquiry. Many were extremely concerned about the negative impact of the congestion charging proposals on their communities. Listed below* are 20 reasons why you should vote “NO” in the February 2005 Referendum. 1. Traffic is projected to increase on over 60 Edinburgh streets in communities which lie between the cordons. Rat-running, as drivers try to avoid the cordons, will impact on everyone. Most affected areas are: Leith Walk, Canonmills, lnverleith and the Botanic Gardens, Dalry-Blackhall, Corstorphine, Marchmont, Morningside, Queen’s Drive, Duddingston and the 6701 orbital route. 2. This is congestion-building scheme, not a congestion-busting scheme. 64% of car journeys will be unaffected, as they are made between the proposed two cordons or inside the inner cordon. 3. Neither details nor a timetable for mitigation of the impacts of the congestion charge on streets which will experience more traffic are available. A report has been promised, but this should have been done at an earlier stage. Mitigation is not always possible (for example, along emergency services routes). Where it is possible, it has a knock-on effect on other neighbourhood streets.

  • Fife Waterfront Network Proposal

    Fife Waterfront Network Proposal

    FIFE WATERFRONT NETWORK Fife Waterfront Network Proposal Prepared by: James Bell 25 June 2020 Proposal number: 123-4567 FIFE WATERFRONT NETWORK EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Objective To redefine Inverkeithing as a transport hub for walkers and cyclists and promote a sustainable active travel economy, recognising Inverkeithing’s unique location as a gateway from the Forth Road Bridge into and from the Fife Coastal Path, routes 1 and 76 of the National Cycle Network and noting the path’s close proximity to Ferrytoll bus station and Inverkeithing train station. To create sustainable regeneration and bring distinction and investment to Inverkeithing, enhancing its waterfront and access to the Fife Coastal Path for everyone. It will offer potential downstream benefits to Dalgety Bay, Aberdour and beyond. Rationale Over the course of 120 years three iconic bridges have been constructed over the Firth of Forth at the equivalent cost of billions of pounds. In combination with the rich natural splendour of the area and fascinating history, Inverkeithing and towns along the Fife Coastal Path are in a position to capitalise from sustainable tourism growth and self-discovery. The Forth Rail Bridge is an iconic World Heritage Site. The construction of the Queensferry Crossing has eased traffic on the Forth Road Bridge, further enhancing the experience of crossing it on foot or bike on dedicated lanes - but the benefit of this monumental investment has not been fully realised. This is because on exiting the Forth Road Bridge at Inverkeithing the cycle lane immediately degenerates and becomes unfit for purpose. Instead of Inverkeithing being a hub, linking visitors using the Forth Road Bridge and the Fife Coastal Path, the substandard nature of the connection deters visitors from onward exploration into Inverkeithing and beyond, achieving exactly the opposite to what it should.
