Rosebery Crescent/Haymarket Terrace Edinburgh

In Your Area

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.

We are continuing our urgent 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 have to close part of the road to carry out the work safely.
