Forth Road Bridge Doors Open Day This Saturday

25 September 2024

Come Along to the Open Day This Saturday

Saturday 28 September 2024

The Forth Road Bridge Doors Open Day is set to take place for the third year in succession on Saturday 28 September.

The Forth Bridges exhibition at Transport Scotland’s Contact and Education Centre will be open to the public from 9am until 4.30pm, featuring a special exhibition to celebrate the bridge’s 60th anniversary, as well as educational activities for young people and a merchandise stall. The Scottish Roads Archive will be exhibiting, and there will be a chance to meet some of the sailors who worked on the ferries over the Forth.

Everyone who attends will have the chance to enter a charity prize draw for a once-in-a-lifetime trip for two to the top of the Queensferry Crossing’s main towers.

Minibus tours of the bridge deck and anchorage are fully booked, however any spare places on the day due to people not turning up will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

There is no charge for the tours, however donations to charity are welcomed. All money raised will go to BEAR Scotland’s national charity partner Macmillan Cancer Support.

Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland’s Operating Company Representative for South East Scotland, said: “We’re delighted to welcome visitors back to the Forth Road Bridge on Doors Open Day for the third year running, and to be raising money for a great cause in Macmillan Cancer Support.”

Matt Smith, Macmillan Relationship Fundraising Manage, said: “We are so grateful to have been chosen as BEAR Scotland’s national charity partner and we can’t wait to be part of their amazing Doors Open Day Event. The money raised on the day and throughout the partnership will allow us to continue investing in our vital services and ensure everyone with cancer knows where to turn to get the help they need.”
