Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors (FCBC), on behalf of Transport Scotland, will be carrying out essential under-deck maintenance work on the southbound side of the Queensferry Crossing from Sunday, 17 November, for up to 16 days.

To facilitate the maintenance works, a section of the northbound carriageway will be temporarily realigned with traffic cones. The works are necessary to ensure the long-term structural integrity of the bridge.


Transport Scotland will continue to monitor traffic conditions closely and will take steps to minimise disruption to road users.

David Bishop, BEAR Scotland's South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: "BEAR Scotland will be supporting FCBC to implement this essential maintenance on behalf of Transport Scotland.

"Road users will be largely unaffected by the operation, with works taking place below deck level. Once the traffic management has been set up, two lanes of traffic will be maintained during the works to ensure that there is no significant disruption to road users."

BEAR Scotland is supporting this project as part of its responsibility for the South East Trunk Road Network on behalf of Transport Scotland. FCBC and its subcontracted supply chain will be undertaking the work on site.
