Ok, so, in addition to being the "longest three-tower, cable-stayed bridge in the world" the construction project involves "the first ever use in Scotland of variable mandatory speed limits to smooth traffic congestion via an Intelligent Transport System. This also controls dedicated bus lanes within the motorway hard shoulders – another first in Scotland"
Also, it is the only place in the world (or the one with the biggest collection of examples, I can't remember which) where there will be a cantilever bridge, a suspension bridge, and a cable-stayed bridge all in the same place.
