REDUCED speed limits will be in force on the Queensferry Crossing next month so cable inspections can be carried out.
A 50pmh limit will be in place for five days between 8am and 6pm for five days from Monday, September 4 to allow the routine checks to be done.
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.”
Real time journey information will be available from Traffic Scotland at www.traffic.gov.scot, or on Twitter at @trafficscotland.
