Queensferry Crossing Maintenance: Forth Road Bridge Diversion

0:00Quinn's ferry crossing over the Firth of 4th shuts down parts of this weekend for key maintenance. Crews from Bear Scotland replace overhead gantry signs at the Central and South Towers, Friday and Sunday nights. That means M90 Southbound closes from 10pm Friday to 7am Saturday, then again 10pm Sunday to 5am Monday. Traffic gets rerouted onto the 4th road bridge, usually just for walkers, bikers and buses. Drivers exit at ferry toll, hop on the A9000, cross via Ecline, then rejoin at Queen's Ferry, officials urge everyone to build in extra travel time. Thousands of overnight motorists hit the M90 will feel this, switching to that iconic suspension bridge, 4th longest in the world, back when in, opened in 1964. It's a big shift from its normal, no car vibe. Saturday night from 10pm to 8am Sunday brings a full test run of the automated diversion system for both the road bridge, directions. While Queen's Ferry's closed, teens inspect the 4th road bridge too, freshening lines, fixing studs and updating lights.
