Getting involved

The Queensferry Crossing has really captured the public’s interest and imagination and been at the centre of a number of high-profile campaigns, including Name the Bridge, Frame the Bridge and Love QC. It’s a world-class bridge but the team who built it want everyone, young and old, to share in, learn from and be inspired by its construction. Find out more about these major public engagement projects below.
