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.

LOTHIAN Buses has issued a warning to customers after yet another scam page pretending to be linked to the company appeared on social media. The operator shared a screenshot of the account, which calls itself “Public transport Edinburgh” and links to a third-party website. It claims to offer a competition to win a heavily discounted Ridacard, the unlimited travel pass for the city’s buses and trams. It is the latest in a slew of hoax accounts doing the rounds online this year, claiming to offer free or discounted passes.
