The new single track road along the route of the A6106 will hopefully just be stopped up with bollards at Sheriffhall still allowing its use by cyclists. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11059#post-123870 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 15:54:03 +0000 amir 123870@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@wangi I didn't know that. I sometimes use that route to get to Musselburgh/Portobello. And at shopping time, it's a quite busy road. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11059#post-123863 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 14:16:28 +0000 wangi 123863@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Many may be unaware - the Borders Railway will result in the closure of Millerhill Rd A6106 at Sheriffhall. This will be permanent. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11059#post-123846 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 11:42:35 +0000 amir 123846@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Note the closures around the Sheriffhall Roundabout</p> <p><a href="http://www.bordersrailway.co.uk/news/temporary-carriageway-to-open-on-city-bypass-for-borders-railway.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.bordersrailway.co.uk/news/temporary-carriageway-to-open-on-city-bypass-for-borders-railway.aspx</a></p> <p>Although these obviously affect the A720 (don't cycle there!), there may be knock on effects.</p> <p>Also the Salters Road twixt Dalkeith and Whitecraig has been closed for resurfacing. Hopefully it will be open next week.</p> <p>The road from Dalkeith to Sheriffhall will be closed for quite some time yet with the diversion through Lugton (or along the path). </p>
