A view from down below

Published on 21 October 2017

It's all been about bridges lately. The Mersey Gateway Bridge opened just last week, and in the last couple of months all eyes were on Scotland for the opening of the Queensferry Crossing.

This week, we wanted to leave behind the news coverage and offer a different view. So - rather unusually for a website about roads - we commandeered a boat and brushed up on our knowledge of railway infrastructure to bring you a new photo gallery of the Forth Bridges, with a tour and some spectacular pictures of the Queensferry Crossing, the Forth Road Bridge and the Forth (Rail) Bridge seen from the Forth itself.

Whether you're a regular, crossing the Forth every day and seeing the view from up above, or you're just curious about the most remarkable showcase of British civil engineering that can be seen in one location, we think it's an alternative view that's well worth a look.

What's new

The Ringways Map is here

The wait is over! The full map of the Ringways, London’s unbuilt urban motorway network, is now online. Not even the system's planners had anything like this.

Red, white and blue

Kent County Council is run by eurosceptic nationalists. So why are they putting EU flags on their road signs?

The sunlit uplands

On Saturday 31 May something historic happened. The Heads of the Valleys Road was finally complete.

Road Numbers

We'd be lost without them, but there is nothing straightforward about the seemingly simple business of giving roads a number.
