When it expects the reported congestion on the Queensferry Crossing to ease.

The first days of operation of the Queensferry Crossing have resulted in increased traffic congestion including outside of peak hours – most noticeably on 10 September. Additional signage and messaging has been implemented regarding the use of the full length of the slip roads to merge and this has resulted in traffic returning to near normal weekday patterns with no appreciable congestion outside of peak hours since 11 September. Some additional traffic to view and travel over the Queensferry Crossing is expected in the coming weekends but this is expected to decrease to normal levels during the next month. Traffic congestion is also expected to ease further when the Forth Road Bridge reopens as a dedicated public transport corridor and when the Queensferry Crossing becomes a motorway and the speed limit is raised to 70 mph.
