Pride_of_the_Clyde Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 If this is metal fatigue cracks occurring at key load bearing sections of the Forth Road Bridge, what is the future of the bridge when the new Queensferry Crossing opens next year? Could the Forth Road Bridge be mothballed? It could fairly readily be converted to a footbridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Fifers react to the news that the forth road bridge will be closed until the new year....

Dee Dee Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Took just over two and a half hours to get from Monifieth to South Queensferry. Nothing unusual about that, as I, always, drive in the outside lane at 45mph, when it gets dark. I heard about two horrendous hold ups, on the radio - Friarton Bridge to Broxden roundabout and approach to Dunblane - total poppycock, as the road was perfectly clear in front of me.

Johnny van Axeldongen Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) It could fairly readily be converted to a footbridge. I think that's the plan; pedestrians, cyclists, motorbikes, rickshaws etc. I think they should turn one of the sections into a pitch and putt course or something like that. That would be quite neat.

Johnny van Axeldongen Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 How do you feel about abseiling? It wouldn't be my cup of tea, but that would be something to consider. You could stick one of those rock climbing walls to the side of one of the towers so that you could abseil down one side and then climb up the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Gripweed Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 They could also turn it into some kind of running track, or maybe a huge big street market type thing with the shows at either end on safer ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Dee Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 How do you feel about abseiling? The act of cracking one off the wrist while simultaneously plugging your bottom with a fat handled screwdriver? Or, the the one wi the ropes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, it's not like five years ago when the woman in the north of Scotland went shopping for the Christmas dinner and didn't get home for five weeks due to the snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
