CABLE INSPECTION ON QUEENSFERRY CROSSING

August 16, 2023

  • Reduced speed limit between 08:00 and 18:00 for five days from 4 September 2023

A reduced speed limit of 50mph will be in force on the Queensferry Crossing between 08:00 and 18:00 each day from Monday 4 September to Friday 8 September. 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 during the day, with a reduced speed limit for safety.”
