Environmental Statements

Artists impression of new crossing
The ecology of the Forth Estuary is of international importance, having been designated a Special Protection Area (SPA) under the European Habitat and Birds Directive. The saltmarsh and mudflats of the Estuary at Kincardine are very high quality bird-feeding grounds that attract a number of species of over wintering and migratory birds.

The environmental statements for the Upper Forth Crossing project and the Eastern Link Road project are available to view online. These statements are also available at a cost of £100 printed or £10 CD format from:
