How much did Queensferry Crossing cost to build?

The Queensferry Crossing is a cable-stayed road bridge over the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, Scotland, the centrepiece of the Forth Replacement Crossing project that also included M9 Junction 1a, the Fife Intelligent Transport System and a contact and education centre over 13.7 miles of road. It opened on 30 August 2017, ten weeks after the contract end date and eight months later than first estimated. Audit Scotland's 2018 report puts the whole project cost at GBP 1.34 billion, 8 to 16 percent below the GBP 1.45 to 1.6 billion estimated at the start of construction, and the press reported GBP 1.35 billion.
