Rosebery Crescent Edinburgh Sewer Repair

In Your Area

A city street is closed off for construction, with barricades, traffic cones, and a sign reading "Road Closed." Construction machinery is visible in the background, and scaffolding covers a nearby building. The weather is wet, with rain making the pavement glisten. Residential buildings line both sides of the street.

We are continuing our urgent sewer repair work in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh.

During investigations on a damaged section of sewer beneath Rosebery Crescent, we identified further damage extending to the main sewer connection on Haymarket Terrace.

Due to the size of the pipe and the depth it is buried - three metres - we have to close part of the road to carry out the work safely.

Latest Update – February 2025

The team on site have been working on the final stages of the current phase of works on the south section of Rosebery Crescent.

From Monday 3 March the traffic management arrangements will move from the south of Rosebery Crescent as the work progresses on to the next phase and north of Rosebery Crescent Lane.

New Traffic Management

  • Road closed between Rosebery Crescent Lane and Grosvenor Gardens.
  • Access to Rosebery Crescent Lane will be maintained via Haymarket Terrace, with updated signage in place.
  • Access to Grosvenor Gardens and St. Mary’s Music School will be maintained.
  • A designated cycle lane will be provided alongside the works.

We expect this phase of works to take approx. 2 months but will work as quickly and safely as possible to complete this section of works.

We appreciate the patience and understanding of local residents, businesses, and road users while we carry out these essential repairs.
