New Forth Road Bridge

RESULTS from a YouGov poll released last week indicate that just 34% of Scots support SNP plans for a new road bridge over the Forth, while 57% believe the existing Forth Road Bridge should be repaired.
According to the Scottish Government, the new bridge is currently expected to cost up to £2,300 million. The Forth Estuary Transport Authority estimates that repairing the existing bridge would cost just £122 million.
Later this month the Scottish Government is expected to publish legislation which would authorise the new bridge if approved.
