Isi this the first time its been (partially) closed?
Its due to the snow/ice falling from the structure onto the carriageway - so weather related, just not directly (wind speed etc).
Unlikely to fully open until after rush hour on Tuesday
Im assuming that as its a south/west wind, they expect any falling snow/ice not to make its way onto the northbound lanes.
Just saw it's closed northbound now too.
Just got home from Melrose - unable to see the road up to Lauder. Hard going.
To be honest, we've got away with it in Edinburgh - so far.
Clearly another failure for the SNP.Quote:

Everyone's favourite Lib Dem can't help a pop either.
Bloody hell, desperation levels rising fast. Amazing what a couple of polls with Yes in the lead can do :wink:Quote:

The problem with the FRB is that one carriageway is currently dug up, so it’ll take more time to arrange traffic management.
My internet is down this morning. Sturgeon!!!!!
This is something that’s bugging me. Why have they not made it easier to redirect traffic onto the old bridge?Quote:

On the radio this morning it was mentioned that engineering works on the frb are restricting it to one lane each wayQuote:

THANKS SNP!
Your joking but we probably paid for that railway.[emoji6]Quote:

First time the Queensferry crossing has closed since opening 2 and a half years ago. Apparently the forth Road Bridge would have been closed on 30 occasions in the same period.
Don’t believe those stats at all...not a chance the FRB was closed more than once a month ...Quote:

Its ridiculous people trying to make political points over what is obviously a safety issue.
I was surprised to see Ruth Davidson getting involved.Quote:

You are correct of course, and I hope you didn't think I was being serious with my "unionist bridge" comment.
Absolute nonsense to bring the SNP into it, FFS. Desperation overload.
My post was a general one given what I've read across social media today.Quote:
