    Sure, it’s a spectacular run down a mountain road. But it’s also an extremely visual reminder that highway infrastructure is important for work and play.

    Amey recently completed an infill project to make safe a disused railway tunnel underneath the approach roads north of Scotland’s Forth Road Bridge. The 420m tunnel was part of the Dunfermline to North Queensferry railway line that provided a link to the ferry service until the opening of the Forth Bridge in 1890. The 4.3m-wide and 5.1m-high tunnel with vaulted roof and brick lining continued in use for freight until 1954. The tunnel runs underneath the A9000 and B981 on the northern approach to the Forth
