The usual blob of asphalt, but better than the nasty hole. There's another, smaller, pothole at the other end of the bridge, but I'm reluctant to report it for fear the fix will be worse than the problem. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3985&page=10#post-325741 Wed, 25 Mar 2020 12:33:52 +0000 handcyclist 325741@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I rode the section from the Craigie's turn past Craigiehall towards the A90 yesterday afternoon. The southern carriageway is now surfaced with smooth tarmac but the northern one is still to be done.<br /> There was a van at the western end who waved me through but I couldn't see any signs that suggested they were still working unlike the bridge where there are so many workers that I had to squeeze past the BMW parked on the cyclepath towards the underpass. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3985&page=10#post-325673 Tue, 24 Mar 2020 18:00:55 +0000 acsimpson 325673@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That whole stretch has now been prepared for resurfacing. It's rougher than a harled wall. The plan was to get it surfaced this week. Time will tell if they consider it unavoidable work or not. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3985&page=10#post-324657 Sun, 15 Mar 2020 14:34:51 +0000 chdot 324657@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Last photo </p> <p><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ovRbsFkimd0s2I47ySQizQNaamNaFISMw4cFIsODl-FH9Iswa0XekNhMfA6aIoiyo1tRvX9gQHsH-py09pR1-NvupFzZJgucZ2F_Nafn840KVytw7tTYK2ful_LwjBrx0GSmMa1wSoi8uqzNFqBlDbWIWjWPPY-BiVrJsVAda0XWkGJ3w-nA_Y8UF-mpCWv7ZJjqFsDZs52IipAnUL_dF7ONGc7h1YZXNShEyjU8lCUdp1uI505LwFM36R3O5i5F8LncFsojqNnmvybPLbnk54rl-wEAXOCoITrNN8AQiVpVrF5bUwCmotsvvF6Xb4ET20QUJ13wxDtIn0gIBrHkVOvHMyDzXsgTrum4ATt0mD60PmNpq654re9jhaAwJxd6rqL24xfh2bcqTxHhDkrT5J0CPalYJaQdq4iYuNPYN47xVhGS7bGcVpJC4EFmEGmA1YUapohogxGt3nzMUDu9J4918_b6ffcLsazjuuk4OYu7nSLAs94lIUcdJEcIrrF7RHQGjgSW26jm6YYHvp-MFktv8KqZK_rvsGF1V2qNjdyVW4Yy5rxunQnSI6g4S1MWZam71i0hmJg5Z-ZqEIJgxu-Zj3IOuX6twhgP7UrdfY6X6BPIG9Fpp_luxj-CBNoaRkLgYLe9GfIRtkrmum8r3VBGSUapbhEDfXK1wUZYJfSzpnGTy8aEWMteL0veh5wV7xMS8IWJCDdyp0ZQlgIbzObRg9V6nvWIfDPygUPU_1lCccg6yuj66-8=w738-h903-no">Click for full size</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3985&page=10#post-324655 Sun, 15 Mar 2020 14:13:19 +0000 edinburgh87 324655@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Be careful anyone riding on the B9080 between Burnshot and Kirkliston.

It's coming out of the big concrete walls in the cutting, suspiciously started when the new flats on top were being built, but leak continues.
