Tour Scotland Video Sunny Drive North Across Queensferry Crossing Firth Of Forth

Tour Scotland video of a sunny afternoon drive North over Queensferry Crossing the new Forth Road Bridge over the Firth of Forth in Scotland. Today, was the day when the bridge was first open to vehicles. The crossing is essentially an extension of the M90 motorway across the Forth with a 70mph speed limit, although operators said an initial 40mph limit will be in place to take account of " driver distraction ". This new bridge will take most of the traffic that currently uses the 53 year old Forth Road Bridge. The old bridge will remain open for cyclists, pedestrians and buses.There will be a royal visit from the Queen ahead of the bridge fully opening later next week.
