Edinburgh North Bridge to close entirely to traffic this evening and tomorrow morning

You may want to rethink your journey home this evening if you travel via North Bridge in the city centre.

The bridge, which joins the Old Town to New Town will be closed to traffic in both directions this evening from 8pm as part of a huge refurbishment project.

Changes to traffic management on the bridge are common as work switches between east and west sides and progresses southwards.

The bridge will reopen to buses, cars and other vehicles from 6am tomorrow, Saturday 29 August 2020 so it shouldn't affect your weekend plans.

Here's the full list of Lothian Buses ' diversions you'll need to be aware of from 8pm this evening:
