The part of the Cameron Toll roundabout in Cameron Toll leading from the A7 Old Dalkeith Road under the railway bridge to Peffermill Road will be closed until Friday, 14th March.

Cameron Toll is a suburb in the south of Edinburgh, and the road closure is necessary because Network Rail is carrying out a £1.25m investment to refurbish the railway bridge.

During the closure, engineers will completely remove and replace the timber deck and railway lines on the bridge.

At the same time, the metalwork on the bridge will be grit-blasted before the steelwork is repaired. Areas of the bridge where work has taken place will also be repainted.

Until Friday, 14th March, the road under the railway bridge Cameron Toll roundabout between Old Dalkeith Road and Peffermill Road will be completely closed to all vehicular traffic and pedestrians.

Between 22.00 and 06.00 from Saturday, 15th until Friday, 28th March, there will single-lane closures of the road under the railway bridge Cameron Toll roundabout between Old Dalkeith Road and Peffermill Road.

Network Rail is in the proves of refurbishing many bridges in Scotland, including
Ferry Road bridge and Yorkhill and Kelvin viaducts in Glagow and a bridge on the A937 Craigo Road between Montrose and Laurencekirk in Angus.

“We understand that road closures can be difficult for those living and working nearby, but this is the safest and quickest way to deliver the complex engineering work needed to refurbish the bridge.
“The work we are undertaking is vital to the long-term future of the line and our engineers are working hard to complete the repairs as quickly as possible and keep disruption to the local road network to a minimum.”
