From 10pm on 27 June the southbound bus stop at the north end of Forth Road Bridge will reopen and the existing northbound stop will be closed, with a temporary stop provided 200m to the north.

This is to accommodate a new traffic management layout, expected to last two weeks.

From tonight (Wednesday 14 June) the Forth Road Bridge’s east footway will close to the public and the west footway will be opened to pedestrians and cycles until further notice.

This is to allow maintenance activity to be carried out safely on the east footway.

Bernard the Elf was so happy to visit the top of the Forth Road Bridge today.... It reminds him of home as it's nearly as cold as the North Pole!

Bernard the Elf is checking out the workshops at the Forth Road Bridge - they're not quite as big as Santa's but he does think he'd enjoy a job as a fabricator/welder looking after Scotland's most iconic bridges.
