Edinburgh's 21 top priority transport projects due to be progressed in the coming year

Cycleways, bus lanes, pedestrian improvements, junction upgrades and more

Edinburgh has a host of major transport projects in the pipeline, some where preparations have just started, others well advanced and some nearly ready to go.

Here are details of the top 21 projects, as prioritised by the transport committee last year, including what they are about, how much they are expected to cost and, crucially, what stage they are at.

Their priority ranking does not, however, indicate how soon they will be realised.

Transport convener Stephen Jenkinson says the council always needs to have projects at different stages of development in order to secure the money required.

He said: "A lot of these projects are externally funded - either from the [Scottish Government's] Active Travel Investment Fund or the Bus Infrastructure Fund, two big pots of money.

"But you have to have projects at the right stage of development in order to access the money. Across our 2025/26 programme, the council levered in about £14.2m of Scottish Government funding to help us deliver these projects."

The council's transport and environment committee will be asked to approve the list of projects this week.
