Magdala Crescent Closure
We can now share a further update about the reconstruction of the road at the bottom of Magdala Crescent.
As one of the final stages of the project, we are reconstructing the junction of Magdala Crescent and Haymarket Terrace and introducing a cycle and pedestrian zebra crossing. This will also introduce a restriction on vehicles exiting Magdala Crescent onto Haymarket Terrace.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen pipework, it took longer than expected for Scottish Water to complete their works before the roadworks reconstruction could begin. Weather conditions have also made working impossible on a few occasions. As a result, we need to work one week after the Festive Break to complete the works.
Magdala Crescent will reopen on 22 December for 2 weeks over the Festive Break on a temporary road surface but as per the new arrangements for the CCWEL, it will be one way in from Haymarket Terrace. It will then close again on 8 January at 6am to 12 January at 3pm so we can complete the final kerbing, surfacing and line marking.
When the junction is closed, you will still be able to access Magdala Crescent from Eglinton Crescent. Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the junction with barriers providing safe routes through.
Coates Gardens will be exit only to Haymarket Terrace.
