Kincardine Bridge, Road bridge in Kincardine, Scotland

The Kincardine Bridge spans 822 meters across the Firth of Forth, connecting Falkirk and Fife with reinforced concrete piers and steel structures.

The bridge, designed by Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners and completed in 1936, served as the first road crossing of the River Forth downstream from Stirling.

The Category A listed structure represents Scottish engineering excellence, incorporating a central swing section that operated for maritime passage until 1987.

The bridge carries the A985 road with single lanes in each direction, supporting over 10,000 vehicles daily between central Scotland and Fife.

The bridge contains 4,000 tonnes of steel and 150,000 rivets, with its swing mechanism rotating on 60 cast steel rollers at the center pier.
