Dear Readers
Three amazing bridges built in three centuries – 19 th Century Cantilever Railway Bridge , 20 th Century Suspension Road Bridge and 21 st Century Cable-Stayed Road Bridge : three bridges across the Firth of Forth in Scotland .
They show the endless human effort to overcome obstacles , invent , develop and implement new ideas and solutions . They are proof of highly professional engineering skills , knowledge , expertise and experience of all the people and companies involved .
This issue brings information of the three bridges ´ design , construction , maintenance and operation accompanied with drawings , photo and video galleries . Our effort to cover everything relevant and important ended up in this issue being exceptionally longer than our other e-magazines .
