New Scottish bridge named.

"The £120m crossing, to alleviate traffic pressure on the Kincardine Bridge, is due to open on Wednesday 19 November."

[livejournal.com profile] soccer_fox and [livejournal.com profile] gr_c17 and I can testify that the Kincardine Bridge could use a little relief..

"Transport Scotland said the process attracted 178 suggestions, including the 'Bridge at Jones Diary' and 'Blackadder Crossing'.

New signs with the name 'Clackmannanshire Bridge' will be erected on the near approaches to the crossing.

In the Wee County, the campaign attracted high-profile support from the likes of football pundit Alan Hansen and former Scottish Parliament presiding officer George Reid."

For my non-Scots readers, Clackmannanshire is the Scots equivalent of State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations--the nation's most mysteriously tiny subentity.
