‘Premature’ opening of Forth crossing

ROADS

12 October 2018
 

An MSP has questioned whether the new Forth road crossing was opened prematurely, given that disruptive works followed its opening in August 2017.

A recent Audit Scotland examination of the Forth replacement crossing’s construction found that the final cost, £1.34bn, was 8% to 16% lower than the estimated cost at the start of construction. It concluded that the project delivered value for money, but added that some of the wider benefits have still to be demonstrated.
