CABLE INSPECTION ON QUEENSFERRY CROSSING

July 13, 2023

  • Reduced speed limit between 08:30 and 16:00 for three days from 18 July 2023

A reduced speed limit of 50mph will be in force on the Queensferry Crossing between 08:30 and 18:00 each day from Tuesday 18 July to Thursday 20 July. This is for safety while routine cable inspection works are carried out overhead.

Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland’s South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: “The Queensferry Crossing is a complex structure that requires constant inspection, however we’ve planned these works to minimise disruption by ensuring that all lanes remain open to traffic with a reduced speed limit during the day.”
