Queensferry Crossing (i)
Posted in Bridges, Queensferry Crossing, New Forth Road Bridge at 20:00 on 5 April 2016
Queensferry Crossing is the name of the New Forth Road Bridge, now under construction. Personally I think they ought to have embraced the pun and called it the Fifth Bridge since there are now two bridges at Kincardine-on-Forth plus the Forth Bridge (the rail bridge) and the Road Bridge.
I started taking photographs in October 2014 but haven’t got round to posting them till now. The first three are from the North Queensferry side.
This is a support pillar for the carriageway on the north side:-
The northern cable stay tower:-
Centre and southern cable stay towers:-
These three are from the South Queensferry end.
South support pillars and bridge starting to be winched out. Note temporary cable stay arrangement:-
