South Clerk St, Edinburgh - Sewer Repair
Work starts on Monday 10 February
The sewer repair is expected to take a minimum of 8 weeks to complete
We are carrying our emergency repairs to fix a collapsed sewer buried four metres beneath a footpath in Newington, Edinburgh.
Work will begin on Monday 10 February and is expected to take a minimum of 8 weeks to complete.
To allow this essential repair to be carried out safely, two lanes of the A7 South Clerk Street will be closed at the junction with East Preston Street, and a small section of the footpath will be affected.
Temporary four-way traffic lights will be in place to manage traffic flow, and some localised parking restrictions will be in place.
Local businesses remain open as usual while we carry out this repair, with pedestrian access to businesses and residential properties being maintained at all times.
Customers’ water and drainage services will not be affected. However, road users are advised to allow extra time for journeys through the area.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of local residents, businesses, and road users while we complete this urgent repair.
