Bear Scotland have informed drivers that the Queensferry Crossing will be closed for 12 hours across the evening of Saturday 26 March from 8:00pm to 08:00am on Sunday 27.
The move is part of a trial that will divert traffic using the M90 over the Forth Road Bridge, instead of the traditional route via Kincardine, to see if the route could cope if the Queensferry Crossing is forced to close in future.
From around 8:00pm on Saturday 26 March, southbound traffic travelling on the M90 will be diverted off the motorway at Junction 1B Ferrytoll, before crossing the Ferrytoll Roundabout and joining the Forth Road Bridge via the A9000, which is normally reserved for public transport.
