Forth Crossings - Queensferry Crossing
The River Forth is a 47km long river central Scotland. Industries in the region include petrochemicals, oil rig construction and ship-breaking. There are many bridges across the Forth upstream as the river is relatively narrow. After it connects with the rivers Teith and Allan downstream, it becomes the Firth of Forth and the crossings are fewer but much bigger.
The Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing are probably the best known of Firth’s bridges.
The Queensferry Crossing is the longest bridge of its type in the world. It was completed in 2017. At 210m, its bridge towers are the highest in the UK. Transport Scotland expects the recently opened Queensferry Crossing will encourage new businesses and increase tourism in the area.
