Echline Junction

Echline Junction lies on the A9000 (formerly A90 just south of the Forth Road Bridge: it is the last junction before the bridge. A roundabout above the main carriageway of the A9000 provides access to the B800 (formerly A8000) to Kirkliston, and the A904 which heads westwards along the coast to Bo'ness and Grangemouth. There are local services on either side: on the A904 a petrol station, drive-through restaurant, and motel; the B800 provides access to 2 more petrol stations, a supermarket, fast food, and a hotel.

Just north of the junction on the northbound side, on both the slip road and the mainline, there is parking for abnormal loads waiting to cross the bridge, as well as traffic lights which can be used to block traffic while abnormal loads cross. The toll plaza was formerly situated there, before the toll was abolished.

History

Before the Forth Road Bridge opened, the A904 ran into South Queensferry, providing access to the ferry terminal.

When the Forth Replacement Crossing opens, the main A90 will run further east, meeting the A904 at the proposed Queensferry Junction, but the Echline Junction will remain to provide access to the old bridge for vehicles still eligible to use it.
