New plans for Forth Bridge visitors
NETWORK Rail has submitted new plans for the Forth Bridge to Edinburgh City Council, to include a low-level reception hub to the east, further away from neighbouring residential properties and minimising the impact on the surrounding environment. The pre-application process will include consulting with the public to gather feedback that will help inform the final designs.
A full planning application, including plans, artist impressions and detailed designs will be submitted later this year following the public engagement exercise. The proposals would see construction of a bridge walk and reception hub on the South Queensferry side of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
