North Bridge refurbishment project

Temporary Closures

There will be a northbound closure on North Bridge for six weeks from Monday 17 February, 2025.  

During this period traffic will only be permitted to proceed southbound (from Princes Street towards South Bridge).

Pedestrians will still be able to use the pavement on the west side and north bound cyclists can either dismount and wheel their bikes down the west side or use the alternate routes down Cockburn Street, High Street or Jeffrey Street.

The six-week closure is for resurfacing on both the southbound approach to the bridge (both lanes outside Waverley Gate toward Princes Street) and the southbound departure of the bridge (both lanes from the entrance to the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton on North Bridge to the junction at High Street).

This webpage will be updated if any of this information changes. Please visit EdinTravel accounts on X and Facebook for wider updates on roadworks.

Information on bus diversions and service alterations during this period is listed on the Lothian Buses website.
