Forth Road Bridge gantry removal, July 2020

These works form part of a project to refurbish and upgrade the under-deck gantries on the Forth Road Bridge, which provide safe working access for maintenance staff along the length of the suspended span. Two existing gantries are being refurbished and one new additional gantry is being fabricated.

The lowering of the gantries had to be carried out at high tide and was highly weather dependent. Two cranes positioned on the main carriageways of the bridge lowered the gantries onto barges in the Firth of Forth below, from where they were transported to dock in Burntisland.
