The proposed new cable-stayed bridge will have three slender single column towers and will be 2.7km long, including approach viaducts. The bridge deck will carry two general lanes of traffic in each direction and hard shoulders to ensure that breakdowns, incidents and any maintenance works do not cause the severe congestion which is currently experienced on the Forth Road Bridge. Construction of the new bridge is now well under way and the talk, by those directly involved, will describe both its design and the construction method.
