- The Forth Road Bridge (FRB) is a long span suspension bridge which carries the A9000 over the Firth of Forth. It was opened in 1964 and is a Category A listed structure. The bridge consists of two approach viaducts and a suspension bridge which forms the main section of the structure. The bridge carries two 7.3m wide carriageways and two 4.6m wide footway/cycleways. The two longitudinal stiffening trusses span the length of the bridge between the towers and are supported from the top chord by a series of vertical hangers supported from the main suspension cable.The bridge has a main span of 1006 metres, and the side spans are each 408 metres long. The decks on both the main and side spans are supported on steel stringer beams that span between large steel cross girders spaced at 9.144 metre centres. These cross girders are supported by two longitudinal stiffening trusses which in turn are supported by the main cables.Throughout the Forth Road Bridge suspended span there are currently 1260 painting defects recorded with paintwork.
