Congratulating the Forth Road Bridge Team

Lodged by Mike MacKenzie Standard Motion 20 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the reopening of the Forth Road Bridge; congratulates every member of the team at AMEY, commissioned by Transport Scotland to maintain the bridge, and those who worked with the organisation, from engineers to consultants and suppliers, for what it considers the tireless efforts that have gone into the timely reopening of the structure; notes that, while the bridge has been available to 90% of users since 23 December 2015, as of 20 February 2016, the structure is fully reopened with HGV access, and understands that, during the inquiry into the bridge closure by the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Committee, several expert independent witnesses praised the huge amount of resource that has gone into the reopening and expressed amazement at how much was accomplished in such a short time.
