Critics warn that the installation of traffic lights will ruin the natural beauty of the site and put pedestrians at risk.
The bridge's unique location, spanning a deep sea loch, makes it a treasured and iconic symbol of Scotland's rich heritage.
Heritage Scotland, the national agency responsible for preserving Scotland's heritage sites, has expressed concerns about the proposed development.
The Scottish Government has yet to issue a statement on the plans, but opposition parties have already spoken out against the proposal.
