The Forth Estuary Transport Authority (FETA) is the authority responsible for the maintenance of the Forth Road Bridge over the Firth of Forth in eastern central Scotland. FETA was created in 2001 by the Transport (Scotland) Act 2001 - to replace the Forth Road Bridge Joint Board.
The board of FETA has ten members, allocated as follows:
- four to the City of Edinburgh
- four to Fife Council
- one to the Perth and Kinross Council
- one to West Lothian Council
As of 2005 FETA, and the Scottish Executive, is considering the construction of a second Forth Road Bridge near the existing structure at Queensferry. This would be in addition to the ongoing works on a replacement to the Kincardine Bridge over the River Forth twenty miles west of Queensferry.
