4/11/2009New website for Forth Road Bridge
The Forth Road Bridge now has its own information website
If you're a regular user of the Forth Road Bridge, you can keep up to date with latest news and information about the crossing on a new website for the structure, launched by the operators this week, and featuring a range of live traffic information and interactive features.
Users of the bridge can now register at www.forthroadbridge.org to receive automatic alerts about bridge restrictions and traffic delays by SMS text or email. The service is fully customisable, so users can specify exactly which restrictions or delays they wish to be notified about, on what days and at what times.
Current bridge restrictions and wind speeds are displayed on the home page. Automatic sensors on the approach roads give warning of delays as they happen and a range of webcams provide views of the traffic. The site also features a graph showing wind data for the previous 24 hours.
Aspiring engineers can take a tour of the structure via an interactive 3D model of the bridge. An illustrated timeline provides a fascinating history of the crossing, and the image gallery contains a wealth of recent and archive photography.
