Several Edinburgh buses diverted for 4 months as overnight North Bridge works begin
A number of Edinburgh bus services will be diverted for around four months as overnight works on North Bridge get underway.
Staring this weekend, 15 Lothian Buses services will be diverted in both directions. The bridge repair works will affect services: 3, 5, 7, 8, 14, 29, 30, 33, 37, 49, N14, N30, N31, N37 and N3.
Works begin on Sunday, March 15 and North Bridge will be closed each night between 10pm and 6am for approximately four months.
North Bridge has been undergoing a major refurbishment since 2021. The £85 million project was initially set to be completed within nine months, but a series of delays has meant that both carriageways and footways are now expected to be finished by Spring 2026. The whole project is due to be wrapped up by summer 2026, with all the scaffolding removed.
