Abstrait:

The Queensferry Crossing is Scotlands largest infrastructure project in a generation. It will replace the existing Forth Road Bridge which has suffered deterioration to many components in recent years. Predictions of cable deterioration to the existing suspension bridge indicated that weight restrictions were likely towards the end of this decade, and the loss of such a vital link was considered intolerable.

This paper explains the background to the project and describes key aspects and challenges in the design of this unique bridge, from the designer’s perspective, with a focus in particular on the challenges in the design and erection of the bridges superstructure which is presently under construction.
