Still massive queues on the Fife side - just had to cancel a long awaited lunch at Orocco Pier in S Queensferry and still have to get over there and back tonight to get DD from airport.

Coming from Barnton to Queensferry.

ok, you just need to follow the road round. The inside lane of the slip road will take you into a lane for Bo'Ness, but you just need to merge into the next one over.

TBH its been set up so seamlessly that i didn't initially realise i was on the new route yesterday morning.

Fab thank you x

Urgh! I live in North Edinburgh & work in Fife. Yesterday was horrific - a 20 min journey was over an hour & on the way home I thought I was going to miss nursery pickup.

Luckily, my usual rat runs through Rosyth & Inverkeithing worked & I made it in time. Pretty stressful. Today was much better.

Ironically I have tickets for the bridge walk on Saturday & can see it far enough!!

my next trip to the airport is on Monday - when the Queen officially opens the bridge so more traffic chaos!!

just get the damn thing open once and once only and get the bloody traffic moving.

Took my DH 1 hour to get across last night when they were doing the switch over. It all seems disorganised given it's been getting built for years.

we're down and back tuesday, down again wednesday and back here friday!

So we'll be FRB tues and weds and back on the Queensferry Crossing on friday!

My DH says it's the road layout that's the problem now. 2 hours to get home after leaving straiton at 4pm yesterday.

StatueInTheSky · 09/09/2017 13:12

we came north yesterday with absolutely no problems at all....except the lorry driver who was apparently too grand for the 40mph limit.

that was just before 11...thought the layout was okay, but admittedly I was busy trying to take photies! :o and I did hear it had backed up later on in the day

we'll be down again next week so will go south for the first time, I shall pay more attention to the layout!

it seemed pretty permanent north bound, but I can see it might be a bit iffy still southbound....sorting the bus/cycle stuff for the FRB and filtering all other stuff for the QFC..i'll report back :o

Iamthereasurection Yy, they must have looked at traffic flow so no idea why the road layout is so rubbish.
