Upper Forth bridge proposals published
Published:  August 07, 2003

Details are being published today of the proposed route of the Kincardine Bridge across Scotland’s Firth of Forth Estuary. The Draft Road Orders are being being advertised in the local press, and public exhibitions will follow.

The 1.2km single carriageway bridge is intended to take pressure off the existing Kincardine Bridge. Some 6.4km of new roads are also being built to create an improved network.

Contractors will be invited to bid for the £71m project during 2005, if the statutory procedures are completed on schedule. Bridge completion is due in 2008.
