The A9000 Forth Road Bridge will be closed to vehicular traffic from 06:00 on Friday 1 October until 18:00 on Saturday 2 October 2021, as part of the ongoing project to replace the main expansion joints.
The closure is necessary to allow contractors American Bridge International to position a crane on the carriageway so that footway joints can be reinstalled following remedial works.

Motorway traffic will be diverted via the M90 Queensferry Crossing. Non-motorway traffic will be required to divert via the A985 Kincardine Bridge.
The Forth Road Bridge will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists through this period via the west footway/cycleway.
Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland's South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: "It's essential for the safety of workers and road users that we close the bridge to vehicular traffic during these works, as a crane will be positioned on the carriageway."
