Thankfully there are pedestrian foot paths on the Forth Road Bridge which will still be used and are closer to the normal ped or cyclist 'desire lines' from and to Edinburgh anyway. As for the 'purring' queen formally opening the bridge to the tune of 'God Save the Queen' (yukkkk!!!), the SNP/Scottish Govt really 'missed a trick' in not giving that honour to a Scottish icon like Billy Connolly or similar!!! We've really gotta get away from this traditional 'pomp' and push on to a far more pragmatic and 'Scottish' way of doing things our way!
