Long delays at new Forth crossing

Motorists faced long delays of around 30 minutes at the Queensferry Crossing.

It is the first weekend the bridge has been open to vehicles and as of 2.15pm yesterday there were delays of at least half an hour, both northbound and southbound.

Queues had been building from 11.40am as many motorists looked to cross for the first time. Northbound, queues were from the M90 spur meaning a wait of 35 minutes, while southbound traffic was tailed back to Halbeath.
