Festive tram works gift for Haymarket
TRAM works at Haymarket are set to be completed by Christmas, it was revealed today.
A major utility diversion project at the busy junction has been ongoing since August and has involved a series of traffic diversions for buses and general traffic.
Willie Gallagher, executive chairman of tram firm TIE, made the announcement while welcoming the confirmation of a works embargo along Leith Walk over Christmas.
He said: "This break has been approved in recognition that tram construction work has been ongoing in Leith Walk for some time. It's also important that we balance the needs of local traders along with the complexity of the tram construction programme.
"As part of striking the right balance we need to be sensitive to the needs of local businesses."
