BROUGHTON ROAD CLOSED – DIVERSION

Submitted by Editor on

Broughton Road will be closed to through traffic for between 8 and 12 weeks starting this morning.

Replacement of Scottish Gas mains between Logie Green Road and Beaverhall Road will start at 9:30am today, and may last until 17 June.

Temporary traffic lights have been installed at Bellevue, but as soon as school resumes after the Easter break it seems inevitable that there will be delays.

The Nos 13 and 36 bus services will divert via East Claremont Street in both directions, and will not stop by Tesco.

The likely duration of the work is unclear. The Council website estimates 8 weeks, the road signs say half as long again, whilst a look at the diary suggests nine-and-a-half weeks between start and finish dates. Nobody on East Claremont Street is looking forward to the effects of increased traffic volumes travelling over speed humps on sleep patterns, nerves and ceiling cracks.
