Update on Roseburn Terrace - May 2022
There have been some delays to work on Roseburn Terrace. This was due to finding asbestos under the pavement by the Roseburn Bar, damage to cellar ceilings and a corroded gas main.
We needed to repair all of this before work could continue. The repairs have now been completed and we are making progress with upgrading the pavement on the south side of Roseburn Terrace. We have considered the impact of these delays on our overall work and would like to make you aware of some changes over the coming months.
Vehicle Access on Roseburn Terrace
We are working to reintroduce vehicle access to Roseburn Terrace as soon as possible. A loading and parking bay will be provided on the south side of the street from week commencing 23 May. From this time on loading will be maintained on the south side of the street for the remainder of the works.
Changes to our work programme in Roseburn
Our current work on the south side of Roseburn Terrace will be complete by 6 June. We are very aware of concerns from local businesses about the impact of the work on their trade and we are keen to minimise disruption caused by the remaining work as far as possible. In order to minimise disruption throughout the busy summer months we plan to stop work on the majority of Roseburn Terrace from 6 June until the start of September.
During summer we will instead focus our work on West Coates, Roseburn Street, Russell Road, Murrayfield Gardens, Murrayfield Avenue and Roseburn Gardens. During this time there will be vehicle access for loading on both sides of Roseburn Terrace and the majority of the barriers will be removed. The banned right turn into Roseburn Street will remain in place.
During autumn we will return to work on Roseburn Terrace and will construct the cycleway and footway improvements on the north side of the street between September and December, though loading will remain available on the south side of Roseburn Terrace throughout this time.
In summary:
- loading will be available on the south side of Roseburn Terrace from week commencing 23 May
- most work on Roseburn Terrace will stop over summer, restarting in September
- the new loading and parking bay on Roseburn Terrace will remain throughout the rest of the works.
