Welcome to the official website for the Forth Estuary Transport Authority (FETA), the organisation responsible for maintaining and operating the Forth Road Bridge in Scotland.
Strong Wind Procedures
Standard procedures are applied during strong winds at the Forth Road Bridge. Wind speeds are constantly monitored by Bridge Control, and restrictions are automatically applied when winds reach pre-determined trigger levels.
The operators of the Forth Road Bridge have set up a multi-agency working group to look at ways of reducing the disruption to bridge traffic caused by strong winds.
