Although I think only on the way out of town, coming back up Priestfield Rd with that road surface looks miserable. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257&page=2#post-358780 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 23:26:12 +0000 Colonies_Chris 358780@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There is an unofficial option avoiding Dalkeith Rd - into Pollock Halls, down to the Confucius Institute, emerging through the gate onto Marchhall Cres and then to Priestfield Rd to Peffermill Rd. Far from ideal but better than Dalkeith Rd. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257&page=2#post-358778 Mon, 28 Feb 2022 21:14:37 +0000 Bigjack 358778@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Encountered the closure this morning. very annoying that no diversion route has been put in place - a real shame for any visitors hoping to follow the NCN. I did the Commie Pool,Dalkeith Rd, Prestonfield Rd, Peffermill Rd,Kings Haugh (hellish road surface!), and back on to the path at the end of the Innocent Rail path, as I've done before. Not ideal but ok. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257&page=2#post-358703 Wed, 23 Feb 2022 18:15:33 +0000 dessert rat 358703@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>the most annoying thing isnt so much that its closed (although that is annoying), its that this work will have been schedule for weeks / months and there was a never a plan to close the tunnel. Only to tell people to to use at own risk. But on Monday they arbitrarily closed it with no notice or diversion. poor. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257&page=2#post-358690 Tue, 22 Feb 2022 19:50:05 +0000 Colonies_Chris 358690@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yes, fully closed this morning between the tunnel and Duddingston Rd W, and expected to remain closed 8am-4pm for several weeks, according to the sentinel on duty there. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257&page=2#post-358689 Tue, 22 Feb 2022 18:45:39 +0000 mcairney 358689@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yep can confirm.

They didn't give me any indication that I should stop and receive advice. I simply waved and said "Morning!" as I passed them. There appeared to be another one down at the Duddingston Road (South?) crossing too.</p> <p>I assumed they'd have stopped people passing while particularly risky activity was going on overhead. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-358507 Tue, 15 Feb 2022 11:14:15 +0000 amir 358507@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Signs up saying works in the usual place from 14 Feb for 6 weeks. I passed this morning - 3 hi viz personnel (either end of tunnel and on rise to tunnel) saying that there is a danger of falling rocks, own choice whether to go ahead. Of course the alternative isn't that attractive. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-357311 Wed, 01 Dec 2021 20:45:11 +0000 Cyclops 357311@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Shut again.</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/edintravel/status/1466061701598568448?t=6kKFpHL6yhbSj4nLSPWPfQ&amp;s=19">https://twitter.com/edintravel/status/1466061701598568448?t=6kKFpHL6yhbSj4nLSPWPfQ&amp;s=19</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-356052 Fri, 22 Oct 2021 19:03:03 +0000 chdot 356052@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Officially reopened </p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/spokeslothian/status/1451609320253280264" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/spokeslothian/status/1451609320253280264</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-355038 Sun, 26 Sep 2021 20:04:53 +0000 chdot 355038@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So, we’re in ‘you ignored the signs so getting run over by a boulder isn’t our fault (?)</p> <p>Presume there are no barriers in place? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-355037 Sun, 26 Sep 2021 19:38:14 +0000 Morningsider 355037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Also went along the innocent today - in an ad hoc peloton, which neatly weaved its way past the many pedestrians.

The covers will also be plastic rather than glass, so hopefully no more punctures for people after oaves smash the coverings.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2jCwUUX"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50296539583_b5fcde9484_b.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2jCwUUX">e2020-09-01_22-06-34_8937z</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wingpig/">wingpig</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-336845 Wed, 02 Sep 2020 07:40:42 +0000 I were right about that saddle 336845@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Time tunnel innit? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-336841 Tue, 01 Sep 2020 23:29:17 +0000 wingpig 336841@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was taking some pictures of the old lights when some people arrived to install the signs warning of the closure from the 7th of the ninth to the 16th of the tenth of the tenth:</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2jCu7VW"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50295994672_3802c78b69_n.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="https://flic.kr/p/2jCu7VW">2020-09-01_11-23-46</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/wingpig/">wingpig</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-254369 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 13:08:59 +0000 LaidBack 254369@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aware that I have customers entering/enjoying all sorts of events that involve 'traffic disruption'.<br /> The ToB for example has loads of closures early on a Sunday.

Cycle lanes parked on even more than during week etc.<br /> Families tend to want to / have to use cars more as public transport restricted on Sundays. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-254368 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 13:00:41 +0000 Arellcat 254368@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Not sure what happened if you were cycling into city as a cycle tourist.</em></p> <p>Were there signs up in advance for commuters or occasional users, who live outside the locale and would need to rethink their route? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-254362 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 12:13:32 +0000 fimm 254362@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>If I get the opportunity I will try and comment in the appropriate place(s) that it was, shall we say unfortunate, that an important cycle route was closed with no diversions by an event that involved cycling... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17257#post-254356 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 10:59:01 +0000 LaidBack 254356@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Should have read forum more carefully!<br /> </em><br /> I've been told that the road closure plans for the Ironman event were certainly sent round the southside.<br /> Kim (resident in the area) said they were quite impressive although he didn't see any other cycle routes suggested.
