Edinburgh's Forth Road Bridge is cracking up. That's the verdict of engineers, who've replaced cracked bolts on its hangers, that hold the cables to the carriageways.
The bolts are expected to have a 30-year lifespan but broken bolts have been discovered just 10 years in. Other work that needs completing includes dry air blowers to be installed to halt corrosion on the bridge's cables.

Edinburgh's Time Ball is to be renovated, thanks to £50,000 of Heritage Lottery Fund support. Edinburgh's second-most-famous timepiece after the One O'Clock Gun can be found on Calton Hill, on top of the Nelson Monument.

Diversions for buses and cars will be in place using Frederick Street, George Street, Hanover Street, Waverley Bridge and Market Street.
What do you think about a new hotel on Princes Street? Edinburgh’s councillors and planners are exploring the possibility of a new glass-encased hotel development. The Georgian building looks set to be encased in glass, according to designs unveiled this week, thanks to a £40 million investment.
