Forth Road Bridge will be closed to traffic tomorrow

Amey will be carrying out repairs to joints in the carriageways of the bridge between 8am and 4pm on Wednesday, April 29 and and Wednesday, May 6.

Bus services will divert via the Queensferry Crossing during these time and the east footpath will remain open to cyclists and pedestrians on both dates.

Amey stated: “All non-essential operations on the network have been stood down while the current coronavirus restrictions are in place. However, these repairs are essential to ensure the continuing safe operation of the Forth Road Bridge.

“Work will therefore proceed in strict compliance with government guidance on social distancing and hygiene.”
