The River Forth is a 47km long river central Scotland. Industries in the region include petrochemicals, oil rig construction and ship-breaking. There are many bridges across the Forth upstream as the river is relatively narrow. After it connects with the rivers Teith and Allan downstream, it becomes the Firth of Forth and the crossings are fewer but much bigger.
The Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing are probably the best known of Firth’s bridges.
The 2,467m long Forth Bridge was completed in 1890. The iconic railway crossing is used by 200 trains a day and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It replaced ferry services across the river and made moving people and goods around the region easier, boosting the local economy.
