Notification of Traffic Management Changes at Foot of the Walk

In order to connect the new tram route at the Foot of The Walk (FoTW), Constitution Street to Leith Walk we are required to install new traffic managements arrangements at the FoTW junction. There will be a two phased approach to these new arrangements with phase one expected to be installed over the weekend of 9 and 10 April 2022 and will remain in place until Autumn 2022

Properties affected will receive a direct notification in the coming week. 
Under these new arrangements key points to note are: 

• The junctions of Manderston Street and Leith Walk and Crown Place and Leith Walk will be closed with enforcement of parking restrictions in place.
• Traffic movements between Great Junction Street and Duke Street heading both ways will be under 2-way traffic management  . 
• There will be no left hand turn from Kirk Street heading north. Vehicles will only be able to turn right heading south on Leith Walk. 
• The bus stop at the foot of the walk will move into the centre of the street. Details of any bus diversions can be found at lothianbuses.com
