[edit] Third

Hmm, I don't think it's a good idea to describe the proposed new bridge as the "third" [1], as things are a bit ambiguous. The trouble is that there's also a road bridge at Kincardine, and they're in the process of building a new road bridge beside it right now. So saying "a new forth road bridge" or "third forth bridge" can get one muddled. I'd suggest either "second road bridge at Queensferry" or "third bridge at Queensferry". -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 17:57, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I'd disagree - I think people in the Lothians, Fife and Central pretty well associate "Forth Bridge"(s) with the ones at QF, and "Kincardine Bridges"(s) for the upstream ones. It'll confuse the tourists though - "third fourth bridge" ;) /wangi 21:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
But what I do think is confusing is saying "Second Forth Road Bridge" in the title, and then "third bridge" in the text - that needs to be consistent. Everyone else (i.e. the press) are just calling it the "new Forth Road Bridge"... /wangi 21:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] tolls for bikes

Can I put a bit in saying little motorbikes get to cross for free :)

It's already there in the infobox, but put it in the body if you like. You can edit it freely, everyone can! Erath 15:46, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

I never even relised it was there- thanks :-)

[edit] Possible info addition?

I know one of the designers and some other people who worked on the bridge. Is there anything that anyone wants found out? I notice you are even missing one of the companies that worked on vital parts of it too! I'm happy to help if you want. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.201.17.161 (talk • contribs).
