I thought this might be of some interest.

The main bridge carrying traffic north of Edinburgh has been closed as cracks have been found in the structure. We don't have many of these in Scotland and the Forth Bridges are a bit of an icon. The closure has caused chaos.

They are building a replacement at the moment, looks like it was a little too late in starting

Why is the Forth Road Bridge Closed?
