Shame the children can't play nice and share the toys.</p> <p>I can see their point of view. What this bridge really needs is to come in at twice the price, 5 years late* and only go half way across the river :D</p> <p>* or on schedule if you ask the cooncil. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9415#post-101166 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 11:58:40 +0000 chdot 101166@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/transport/council-fears-losing-control-of-new-forth-bridge-1-2800123" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/transport/council-fears-losing-control-of-new-forth-bridge-1-2800123</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9415#post-99045 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 14:20:13 +0000 Claggy Cog 99045@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I so knew it was a good idea. Like the by-pass, had it been three lanes would be classed as a m-way and come under the jurisdiction of Transport Scotland and not the council...class bit of planning that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=9415#post-99033 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 13:35:54 +0000 crowriver 99033@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>COUNCIL taxpayers in Edinburgh could be left with a £4.4 million bill for compensation claims over the new Forth Road Bridge unless the Scottish Government agrees to pick up the tab.</p> <p>The potential claims – for noise, disturbance, vibration, smell and fumes – arise from construction contracts for approach roads to the new bridge.</p> <p>The Forth Estuary Transport Authority (Feta) would normally have reimbursed the council for the costs of such claims. But Feta is being abolished and the job of maintaining and operating both the new and the existing crossing will be handed to a private company, while the government owns the structures.</em></p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/transport/council-warn-of-4-4m-bill-for-forth-bridge-claims-1-2774475" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/transport/council-warn-of-4-4m-bill-for-forth-bridge-claims-1-2774475</a> </p>
