After decades of service as a main transit route, it is currently mostly used by buses, pedestrians, and bicycles to supplement the more recent Queensferry Crossing. The bridge adds to the area’s visual appeal and historical significance in addition to serving as a useful asset and a representation of Scottish engineering and design.
