Water path to close for tram works
SECTIONS of the footpath along the Water of Leith are to be closed to allow for tram works to be carried out.
Tram firm TIE warned local residents of the upcoming disruption ahead of work in and around Balgreen Road.
The works will be divided into two phases, with phase one focusing on building two new bridges and preparing the ground for phase two, which will include track laying and electrification.
Phase one will last from August 2010 until August 2011, at which point works will stop in this area and resume at a later date for phase two.
The Water of Leith footpath will be closed in the area on both sides of the water from August 16.
In a statement sent to local residents, TIE apologised for disruption, adding: "Please note that these works will include excavations and piling, which will generate some noise."
