Understanding the resilience of transport networks is critical for efficient asset management. This paper takes an innovative approach to studying the operability of the Queensferry Crossing (QFC) including cost-benefit aspects. A key driver for the QFC was to increase the resilience of the A90/M90 link by reducing weatherrelated closures. The first weather-related closure of the QFC was in February 2020, when ice formed on the superstructure cables and fell on the carriageway and vehicles, creating a safety risk for bridge users. The bridge was closed for 41 hours and in this paper, we compare the estimated monetary losses with those of past FRB closures. The costs of potential mitigation measures are then assessed in the context of closure costs, thus, improving the resilience of the QFC. Although the QFC has only been open for three years, it is already apparent that it is significantly more resilient than the largely replaced FRB, whether this is considered as the number, duration or costs of closures. It was also found that investing in adaptation measures to prevent similar events in the future is cost-effective, as the cost of a de-icing system is approximately equal to the daily cost of the QFC closure.
