Tolls end on Forth Road Bridge
THE Forth Road Bridge is preparing to go toll-free from tomorrow, when booths will be removed ahead of demolition.
The abolition of the 1 cost of crossing the Forth has delighted motorists, particularly commuters who travel to Edinburgh to work.
However, regional transport body Sestran has warned it will lead to added congestion.
The bill scrapping the charges received royal assent last week and Transport Minister Stewart Stevenson has said tolls will now be scrapped from 12.01am.
Three of the tollbooths are in the process of being removed to allow a free flow of traffic. The rest of the booths will be taken away later and a new system of signs installed.
