A MODEL of the new Forth Road Bridge has gone on show at a new education centre at South Queensferry, which will host visits from schools, colleges and other groups, as well as providing an access point for inquiries from the local community affected by the construction works.

Keavy O’Neill, policy officer for the Forth Replacement project, is pictured inspecting the model with a panoramic view of the Forth behind.
