| Abstrait: |
The Forth Replacement Crossing will be built across the Firth of Forth in Scotland to maintain and enhance a vital transport link in the country. The wide estuary will be crossed by a pair of 650 m main spans with crossing cable stays employed to stabilise the central tower, a unique design feature for a bridge of this scale. The scheme design of the crossing, being carried out by the Jacobs-Arup JV, aims to provide a fitting 21st century icon, standing alongside existing 19th and 20th century Grade A listed bridges. |
