One driver said Laing O’Rourke staff from the St James centre building site is helping to direct traffic.

Bus passengers are also facing delays of up to 15 minutes on Leith Street from London Road.

Elsewhere, road users are being advised to use extra caution due to “white out” fog conditions near Edinburgh Airport and on the Queensferry Crossing.
