The cost of repairs to Edinburgh's North Bridge have risen by another £1.2 million, it has emerged, as the council warned the project's budget is still set to increase 'significantly'.
Work to refurbish the bridge which links the Capital's Old and New towns began in 2018 after “multiple structural and safety defects” were identified.
But since then, more issues have been discovered with the historic crossing, as sections not inspected since its construction 130 years ago were found to be in need of major repairs.
