Edinburgh buses: diversions in place affecting several services next week as works continues on North Bridge

The works are expected to last for three days

Several Lothian Buses services will be affected next week as work continues on Edinburgh’s North Bridge.

Works will commence Monday, February 19 and are expected to last for three days. The bus operator advised the overnight works will be in operation from 8pm until 6am each day. Diversions will be in place during these hours with changes to 15 services.

Out with these times, two-way traffic on  North Bridge will be switched from the east side to the west side next week as the massive refurbishment project moves to the next stage. The bridge will remain open to pedestrians at all times.

The changes in traffic management will allow finishing works to the east footpath, including new bus stops and real-time passenger information posts. It will also create an area for a crane to be set up for the cast façade to be reinstalled on the side of the bridge.
