Watch: Edinburgh’s Cameron Toll roundabout is finally smooth again after years of potholes and patches
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565

Potholes and patches painted a picture of neglect at the busy roundabout, with imperfections causing a danger to cyclists and concern for drivers.

As investigations developed, it became clear replacing the 200-year-old masonry would not be a speedy job and so it was decided the council would take the opportunity to resurface the entire roundabout. And now, for the first time in years, drivers and cyclists can travel along the busy route pothole free.
In this video you will see the transformation to the major road following its three-month make-over.
