    At stages during construction, it may be necessary for the carriageway at Eyre Place to be closed to traffic. This will be done only when absolutely necessary, for the minimum possible duration and also with the permission of City Of Edinburgh Council.

    Noteworthy construction updates may be added below to this website as works progress. Notices regarding any future closure will also be posted locally.

    Every effort will be made to carry out construction safely and efficiently with the least possible disruption to local residents and business owners.
