The Three Bridges of the Forth – an introduction.
The Three Bridges of the Forth are simply a group of three bridges that span the Firth of Forth, a tidal estuary located in eastern Scotland. The three bridges are:
The Forth Bridge:
This is possibly the most famous and iconic of the three bridges. Moreover, it is a cantilever railway bridge that was completed in 1890 and most importantly is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Moreover, the bridge spans a total length of 2.5 kilometres, and further has become increasingly famous, painted in a distinctive red colour.
The Forth Road Bridge:
In addition, this suspension bridge was opened in 1964, conveniently located to the west of the Forth Bridge. Spanning a total length of 2.5 kilometres, it serves as the main arterial route for cars between Edinburgh and Fife.
The Queensferry Crossing:
Last but not least, The Queensferry Crossing is the newest and longest of the three bridges. It is a cable-stayed bridge that was opened in 2017 and spans a total length of 2.7 kilometres (1.7 miles). It was built to relieve traffic congestion on the Forth Road Bridge.
Together, the Three Bridges of the Forth form an impressive sight that can be seen from many vantage points in Edinburgh.
