Exhibition and tours to celebrate Forth Road Bridge

The operators of the Forth Road Bridge have revealed plans to hold an open week in June.

The event is expected to feature an exhibition on the history of the bridge and its maintenance, as well as tours of the structure.

Members of the Forth Estuary Transport Authority (FETA) board are set to discuss the proposal at their meeting next week.

The announcement follows a similar event in 2009, which attracted over 1000 visitors.

FETA convener Phil Wheeler said, “The bridge’s first open week in 2009 was held to mark the structure’s 45th birthday.

“Over 97% of visitors told us the event should be repeated in future, so we’re planning to do it again this year.”
