View in northwestern direction. The first road crossing of the Firth of Forth, opened in 1964, has been realized as a suspension Bridge with a main span of 1006 m. Since 2017 its function has largely been replaced by the new Queensferry Crossing whereas the Forth Road Bridge has been dedicated to public transport, cyclists, and pedestrians.
