Abstract

The Forth replacement crossing will be built across the Firth of Forth in Scotland to maintain and enhance a vital transport link in the country. The wide estuary will be crossed by a pair of 650 m main spans over the two navigation channels, with crossing stay cables employed to stabilise the central tower – a unique design feature for a bridge of this scale. The project aims to provide a fitting twenty-first century icon standing alongside existing nineteenth and twentieth century grade A listed bridges. A statutory consultation process is currently under way, with competitive dialogue taking place throughout 2010. Construction will commence in 2011 and the bridge is expected to be completed in 2016.
