Email from facilities at work says as below. These are CEC not university works, because of course the idea of coordinating this with the square being dug up a few months back is too difficult for both parties.
=====
Over the coming weeks, the City of Edinburgh Council will be replacing and upgrading the pavements and street lighting to the north, east and west sides of George Square as well as the south side of Crichton Street.
The work will be split into 3 phases with the 1st phase starting on Monday 17th September:
Phase 1 – Crichton Street – Southern pavement and eastern pavement within George Square
Phase 2- George Square – Northern pavement
Phase 3 – George Square – Western pavement
As each area is being worked on there will be disruptions to not only the walkways, but also traffic flow and parking, which will also affect the surrounding roads, e.g. Charles Street, Charles Street Lane and George Square Lane, so please check the Council notices which will be displayed in these areas.
