Concrete.


Carnegie realises that he is in danger of becoming a bit of a "Bridge bore," but he must highlight the latest calamity to impact the operation of the Forth Road Bridge.

"RUSH-HOUR chaos hit the Forth Road Bridge again yesterday – this time caused by a concrete mixer spilling tonnes of cement on to the carriageway. Traffic queues stretched five miles into Fife last night after the two-lane southbound carriageway had to be closed for clean-up work."

Carnegie is reminded of the old adage that if you worked hard you made your own luck. Given the run of bad luck which seems to be afflicting the Forth Bridge Carnegie suggests that the Big Cheeses at the Forth Estuary Transport Authority (FETA) aren't working hard enough.
