Bibliography and Workstream Timeline

This is the final report on the project planning work carried out for the Forth Replacement Crossing Study in 2007 and for the Forth Replacement Crossing during 2008.

The following reports have been produced in connection with the project and are referenced within this report. These supporting reports can be viewed at www.forthreplacementcrossing.info.

Ref	Report Title and Work Period	Report Synopsis
1.	Forth Replacement Crossing Study Report 5: Final Report Work pre-June 2007.	Report on work undertaken by Jacobs and Faber Maunsell to June 2007 to assess the options for a replacement crossing which recommended that a cable stayed bridge in ‘Corridor D’ – a crossing point immediately upstream of the Forth Road Bridge - be taken forward as the best overall performing option.
2.	Forth Replacement Crossing Route Corridor Options Review: Work carried out by Jacobs Arup, January to May 2008.	Report to assess nine mainline connecting road corridors: three in the Northern Study Area and six in the Southern Study Area. It recommended that two of the northern and two of the southern corridor options be taken forward for further assessment.
3.	Forth Replacement Crossing DMRB Stage 2 Corridor Report: Work carried out by Jacobs Arup, May to August 2008.	Report on the assessment of the shortlisted corridor options and a supplementary assessment of a variant version of a connecting road corridor in the Southern Study Area. The report recommended that work continue to identify in detail the optimum road improvement within North Corridor Option 1 and South Corridor Option 1.
4.	Forth Replacement Crossing, Main Crossing (Bridge) Scheme Assessment Report, Development of Options: Work carried out by Jacobs Arup, January to August 2008.	Report on the assessment of options for the outline design of the replacement crossing.
5.	Forth Road Bridge – Feasibility of Multi-Modal Corridor: Work carried out by Jacobs Arup, August to October 2008.	Report on the feasibility of utilising the existing Forth Road Bridge for non motorised and public transport/light road traffic, including for a potential future guided bus/tram/ light rail facility. The report concluded that this would be a feasible option.
6.	Forth Road Bridge - Audit of Feasibility of Future Multi-Modal Use - Summary Report Work carried out by Faber Maunsell to November 2008	Independent summary of review on the Jacobs-Arup assessment of the feasibility of utilising the existing Forth Road Bridge for non motorised and public transport/light road traffic, including for a potential future guided bus/tram/ light rail facility. The report concluded that the Forth Road Bridge could, in principle, be adapted for future LRT
7.	Forth Replacement Crossing, Main Crossing (Bridge) Scheme Assessment Report, Development of D2M Alternatives: Work carried out by Jacobs Arup, October to November 2008.	Report on the assessment of options for a narrower replacement crossing to carry a dual carriageway road with hard shoulders.
