Revised proposals for Forth Bridge Experience
9 September 2021Bridge Walk and Visitor Hub at the Iconic Forth Bridge
9 September 2021Network Rail has submitted a pre-application notice to City of Edinburgh Council for revised proposals to install a bridge walk and visitor hub at the iconic Forth Bridge.
The revised proposals include a low-level reception hub to the east of the Forth Bridge, further away from neighbouring residential properties, minimising the impact on the surrounding environment.
As part of the pre-application process, the Network Rail project team will be hosting two online community drop-in meetings this month.
Taking place on Monday, September 13 and Tuesday September 21, 2021 from 3-7pm, the online drop-ins will provide members of the community with an opportunity to find out more about the proposals and ask any questions they may have.
To book a slot at one of the online drop-ins or for more information about the project please visit: https://scotlandsrailway.com/projects/forth-bridge-experience.
A full planning application, including plans, artist impressions and detailed designs will be submitted later this year following the public engagement exercise.
