I try to avoid it at all costs anyway.
Been falling down for years.
When’s the new one open?

Dec 2016 (allegedly) and will fall down three months later 'cos nothing lasts that’s imported from China :slight_smile:

Aint that the truth.

Bought a comb from Superdrug, took it out of its wrapping, went to use it and nearly cut my head, the teeth on it were sharper than Jaws! Guess where it was made? Took the garbage back to the shop.

I have thought the same going over it for months, feels very strange not like other bridges, thud rattle shake thud rattle shake.

A full load of hanging beef with 25 tonne of plate steel on the floor will do that to a bridge! :wink:

Well took me 3hrs 40mins to get from Kirkcaldy to Grangemouth this morning. The bridge was also shut to high sided vehicles :open_mouth: :sunglasses:

That’s a double bonus you got there. Not having to go near Amazon or the FRB.[emoji3]

12

My second run has been Amazon all week but tonight it was thankfully cancelled !! :smiley:

13

£1.4 BILLION for a new bridge!! :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Sounds like value for money doesn’t it! :neutral_face:

Presumably taken from the budget set aside for Trident in the hope that we cant afford it :unamused:

15

New weight limit has been imposed of 7.5 tons. Could be long term :open_mouth:

■■■■■■■ ridiculous.

16

Closing it completely from Midnight , at least for 24 hrs , possibly longer :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

17

Just read on the BBC Scotland page that the Bridge is to be closed to ALL traffic from midnight tonight.
It will be closed all day Friday and possibly even longer. :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

So glad I don’t go anywhere near Edinburgh or Fife. To say that’s going to cause major problems tomorrow would be a bit of an understatement.[emoji25]

The phrase ’ Total Carnage ’ springs to mind, Kincardine is going to be mental busy.

Thankfully the regular Cowdenbeath driver is back because that is run is going to turn from a PITA to a 'mare.
