The Queensferry Crossing (formerly the Forth Replacement Crossing) is a road bridge in Scotland. It was built alongside the existing Forth Road Bridge and carries the M90 motorway across the Firth of Forth between Edinburgh, at South Queensferry, and Fife, at North Queensferry.
Proposals for a second Forth Road crossing were first put forward in the 1990s. But no action was taken until structural issues were discovered in 2004. In 2006-2007 Transport Scotland carried out a study to examine the options and in December 2007, the decision was made to proceed with a replacement bridge. The following year it was announced that the existing bridge would be retained as a public transport link. The Forth Crossing Act received Royal Assent in January 2011. In April 2011, the Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors Consortium were awarded the contract and construction began in late Summer/Autumn of 2011.
The Queensferry Crossing is a three-tower cable-stayed bridge, with an overall length of 2.7 kilometres (1.7 miles). Around 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) of new connecting roads were built, including new and upgraded junctions at Ferrytoll in Fife, South Queensferry and Junction 1A on the M9.
The bridge was first due to be completed by December 2016, but this deadline was extended to August 2017 after several delays. It is the third bridge across the Forth at Queensferry, alongside the Forth Road Bridge completed in 1964, and the Forth Bridge completed in 1890. Following a public vote, it was formally named on 26 June 2013 and opened to traffic on 30 August 2017. The official opening was carried out on 4 September 2017 by Queen Elizabeth II, fifty-three years to the day after she opened the adjacent Forth Road Bridge.
Queensferry, also called South Queensferry or simply "The Ferry", is a town to the west of Edinburgh, traditionally a royal burgh of West Lothian. It lies ten miles to the north-west of Edinburgh city centre, on the shore of the Firth of Forth between the Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing. The prefix South serves to distinguish it from North Queensferry, on the opposite shore of the Forth. Both towns derive their name from the ferry service established by Queen Margaret in the 11th century, which continued to operate at the town until 1964, when the Road Bridge was opened.
Its population at the 2011 census was 9,026 based on the 2010 definition of the locality which in addition to the burgh includes Dalmeny.

Saw this man crossing the street with the light behind him and the insanely long street. A bit surreal, but real!
As a train approaches the crossing, the lights flash and the arms lower.

This view looks north-easterly along part of the New River Loop in Enfield. The arched pedestrian bridge appears to be constructed of a combination of brick and wrought-iron but is of a slightly different design to the one I posted a couple of days ago.
The New River (which is neither new nor a river!) is an aqueduct built in 1609-13 from Hertfordshire to Islington to bring fresh water into the City of London. Today, Thames Water still uses the New River as a source for London's drinking water (but not the Loop seen above).
The horseshoe-shaped loop of the New River through Enfield was bypassed in around 1900 by the laying of three large cast-iron water pipes. These sustained war damage in 1940 so the Loop was temporarily reinstated.
Today, the Loop is owned by Enfield Council. Fully restored with major support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, water levels to the Loop are maintained by Thames Water. The 28-mile New River Path (a short section of which is seen on the left above above) follows this original route through Enfield.

Savannah NWR--Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive. Clapper Rails and their recently split relatives, Ridgeway's and mangrove rails, are secretive birds of US, Mexican, and some Caribbean marshes, usually coastal. The clapper rail is named for its call, which sounds like a fast burst of clapping. This individual called while hidden in the marsh, but was silent while crossing the canal.

Thank you so much for posting this photo to your group main page!
Bangladesh is a land of rivers. So it is easier to move from one place to another by boat. Journey by boat is very interesting, especially in the rainy season.
During my last visist at December to Bangladesh, once I went to my grandfather’s house with four of my friends from the capital of Dhaka city to Sirajganj city. For this, we hired a small boat. On the fixt date, we came to the river –site. There were two boatmen. So we were six in number in the boat. We started in the morning at about 3:15pm. The boatmen set sail. The wind was favourable. So the boat passed quickly with the wind. But at noon the wind suddenly dropped. Then the boatmen used their pole and oar to move it.
The river was full to the brim. The boat was moving slowly. The waves of the river were making sweet sound. At some places, we saw the farmers cutting paddy plants. We also saw many fishermen fishing with their nets. Many men were bathing and swimming in the river. We were charmed at the vast green paddy fields, mastered fields which is looks as yellow sea and the beautiful sights on our way.
After rowing for three hours we reached our destination. The boat stopped at a place. We all got down and my uncle was glad to see me. He received us warmly.
A journey by boat is really pleasant. The charming sights and scenes on my way filled my heart with great joy. Indeed it was a very happy journey for me and I shall never forget it.

Rumoured to be the busiest intersection in the world (and definitely in Japan), Shibuya Crossing, is like a giant beating heart, sending people in all directions with every pulsing light change. Perhaps nowhere else says ‘Welcome to Tokyo’ better than this. Hundreds of people – and at peak times said to be over 1000 people – cross at a time, coming from all directions at once yet still managing to dodge each other with a practised, nonchalant agility.
My son and I went back to Fletching after the heavy rain of Thursday. The River Ouse had flooded the road so no traffic could get into the village that way but we were able to cross the floods ( a surprisingly long way) by carefully negotiating the narrow raised walkway. At times the water was level with the path.

Good morning Flickr :) This was taken a few days ago with my mobile. The sky was perfectly blue that day and I only had to aim at it to capture the crossing trails. I think they are a perfect symbol of creativity :) Hope, you like them!
Have a perfect week!
Take care!

From the streambed of Leatherbark Run, just outside Cass, WV, we watch Mower Lumber Co. Shay #4 take a string of empty log flats up Cass Hill to pick up another load of fresh-cut timber.
This image was captured during a November 2025 photo shoot at the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park, which on this day, featured the 70-ton, 3-truck Shay #4, a locomotive that has been in service here since 1943. The train is pictured at about Milepost .5.

The new Forth Bridge Crossing construction is coming along and all 3 towers stand tall and to my eye going up at a similar rate. Long exposure taken from the new road from Rosyth to North Queensferry.
