Cameron Toll to close for three days this weekend as diversion route announced
The disruption is scheduled to last until Monday, but the roundabout could reopen sooner depending on the speed of the works.
Drivers should be aware of traffic disruption this weekend as Cameron Toll roundabout closes for three days of essential works.
Edinburgh council has confirmed the busy roundabout will be closed to traffic between its junctions with Lady Road and Dalkeith Road from 10am on Friday through until Monday.
A diversion is being put in place via Lady Road, Craigmillar Park, Mayfield Gardens, Minto Street, Newington Road, East Preston Street and Dalkeith Road.
Traffic officers said there is a chance the roundabout could open earlier than Monday, potentially on Saturday or Sunday evening, depending on the progress of the works.
The bus gate on Prestonfield Avenue is also suspended from Friday to Monday.
Cameron Toll has been hit by seemingly “never-ending” closures over the last two years.
In February 2024 a collapsed culvert carrying water from the Pow Burn area meant that parts of the roundabout were closed for three months.
Then in August, just months after it reopened, the roundabout was partially closed for emergency gas works. Initially scheduled for eight weeks, the project was pushed back to late October and then mid-November after workers discovered a damaged water main at the site.
The roundabout was then closed again weeks after workers found a “large void” under the carriageway.
Come January 2025, there was more disruption at the site when Network Rail announced plans to upgrade the rail bridge over the roundabout, which saw months of lane closures for drivers.
