A city street is closed off for construction, with barricades, traffic cones, and a sign reading "Road Closed." Construction machinery is visible in the background, and scaffolding covers a nearby building. The weather is wet, with rain making the pavement glisten. Residential buildings line both sides of the street.

Rosebery Crescent Emergency Sewer Repair

We recently carried out emergency sewer repair work in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh.

During investigations on a damaged section of sewer beneath Rosebery Crescent, we identified further damage extending to the main sewer connection on Haymarket Terrace.

Due to the size of the pipe and the depth it is buried - three metres - we had to close part of the road to carry out the work safely.

Latest Update – December 2025

Following the completion of our slab reinstatement works at the junction of Rosebery Crescent and Haymarket Terrace in November, some of the slabs have since cracked and will require further remedial works.

We have been in discussions with the City of Edinburgh Council and approval has now been granted for a two-day road closure at the bottom of Rosebery Crescent to allow this remedial work to be carried out.

The closure is scheduled to take place on Wednesday 14 and Thursday 15 January 2026 and our team will do their best to complete this work as quickly as safety allows to minimise disruption.

We apologise to local residents and road users for the inconvenience caused and thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

We will work as efficiently as possible to minimise disruption and appreciate your patience and understanding while this important reinstatement is completed.
