Edinburgh's North Bridge is to remain partially closed to traffic until Spring 2023 with a six-month delay to the project confirmed. The bridge is currently using a one-way traffic system to allow workers to carry out the refurbishment safely.
The bridge has been closed all northbound traffic since Sunday November 14 last year and it was previously anticipated the closure will last for a period of nine months. But this has been extended due to "unforeseen structural safety concerns" in the central part of the bridge.
The remarkable structure which has linked the old town with the new town for over 120 years has been under refurbishment since 2018. The whole project is expected to finish in 2024.
