North Bridge is due to reopen fully in 2026 after eight years of work to repair and restore the vital link between Edinburgh's Old and New Towns. The project has taken much longer and cost a lot more than originally estimated. The final bill is expected to be around £86 million.
The current traffic management measures are expected to be lifted sometime in the spring, allowing all four lanes and both pavements to be used once again. Some scaffolding will remain in place until the final full reopening in the summer.

Catching up with Portobello High School 5 months on from banning mobile phones in school

Portobello High School and Queensferry High School were the first secondary schools in Scotland to pilot a zero-phone policy, with Portobello High School becoming phone-free starting on 7 May and Queensferry High School introducing the policy on 14 May - with young people required to store their phones in pouches at the start of each school day.

All learners from S1 to S6 will be responsible for storing mobile phones in secure and lockable Yondr pouches during the school day. The storage pouches are locked and un-locked magnetically, with phones remaining in the pupilsâ€™ possession throughout the school day.

The phone-free policy has been introduced following extensive engagement with pupils and parents and carers over a six-month period, with focus groups meeting to discuss the policy and 86% of parents and carers of children attending Portobello High School positively supported the introduction of the policy.
