All the Edinburgh road closures ahead of Beyonce's Murrayfield concert

Edinburgh residents have been warned of road closures ahead of a major concert.

Beyonce is heading to Murrayfield on May 20 as part of her Renaissance World Tour - and thousands are expecting to flock to the capital.

Scottish Rugby issued letters to West End residents to alert them of the road closures and have said they expect 60,000 people to attend the show - as well as another 60,000 for Harry Styles.

With this, Scottish Rugby say they will be working in conjunction with City of Edinburgh Council, Police Scotland, and the National Counter Terrorism Security Office to ensure safety and traffic management measures put in place are robust.

Beyonce's show-stopping gig kicks off at 6.30pm on Saturday and road closures will be put in place before the event at around 12pm until 12.30am on Sunday as thousands of fans decent on the stadium.

The roads included are; Roseburn Street, Russell Road, the A8 corridor between Haymarket and Western Corner, and Murrayfield Road.

Roads closed after the event include: Roseburn Street, Russell Road, Murrayfield Road, A8 between Haymarket and Western Corner, Westfield Road / WestApproach Road, Rosebery Crescent, Balbirnie Place, and Grosvenor Street.

Residents have also been told that there may be further road closures to deter fans from parking in residential areas.

These road closures will also be implemented for Harry Styles' concert on May 26 and 27, and Bruce Springsteen on May 30.
