Up close it's an ugly thing and the wind barriers prevent your view of the Forth and add to the feeling that it's badly designed. The snagging stuff like this is annoying but anyone who works in construction/engineering will be pretty familiar with this sort of thing. It's sadly the norm for big construction projects. None of the extra work will cost the taxpayer a penny either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Couple of folk in here proudly showing off their civil engineering degrees that came from the back of a cereal box. For shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 The government took huge pride in its completion and it was cited on threads on here as a symbol of the competency of the SNP so if they’re going to lap up the adulation when it goes well then then can take the flak when it’s a disaster. Lay off the roids you utter simpleton. It's closed in one direction for a few days. "Disaster" [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. There certainly hasn't been a disaster though, unless I'm mistaken? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 The part that let it be opened despite everyone involved knowing that it wasn’t finished, in order that maximum political capital could be extracted from it. And the part that means it will have resurfacing Work ongoing for the next 10 months despite it only being launched a matter of weeks ago. Do you use it? I do. And it’ll not affect me in the slightest. ‘Political Capital’ [emoji23] The Tories and p***ks like you are doing the exact same by saying shite like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Went north into Fife tonight on the new bridge and south on the old one. The old one is a strikingly rickety old thing compared to the new one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you asked, opened only so they could say it was opened. Royal visit, big fanfare etc, etc. The fact that it was not ready was irrelevant. Apparently.

1320Lichtie Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Now who is taking it seriously? [emoji4] I shall rename you 'Bridge Defender Guy'. You’ve misinterpreted my use of that word. Maybe really would’ve been more appropriate. And I’m not taking it seriously, I just find it mental that people are having such a pop over this. If a triple team of Doug Ross, Ruthie and Kirstene Hair had opened this thing and the same thing had happened I wouldn’t have even had it in me to try have a go at the fuckers for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
