Wonder if you go down to the new bridge then take the path on the easy side of the river down to murrayfield. The path on the west side looked fairly heavily blocked yesterday

Broomhouse path STILL not open. Looks like they're constructing a 6-inch wide ornamental flower border between the path and the road. Meanwhile the diversion creeps evern-narrower as they edge the security fence ever closer to the bollards.

I used to occasionally go that way (Broomhouse path) into work for a change but the reports on here have persuaded me to avoid it until it's been properly sorted.

"until it's been properly sorted"
There speaks an optimist!
The claim (on here via Twitter) that it would be 'open on Wednesday' proved to be so far from the truth that it's probably wise to avoid for the foreseeable future.
Still unresolved is the way the final layout around EP Station and Cultins Road will work in practice.
The final final version of this route will still be interrupted by roads and lights.
The cost of ped/cycle bridges next to the tram ones would have been insignificant in the medium scale of things.

Just when you thought they'd actually finished the tram crossing at Edinburgh Park Station. The pedestrian rail-crossing bit that has been open for a while now and which appeared to be a permanent/final surface, was in the process of being dug up with pneumatic drills this morning...

Yesterday the Broomhouse Path where it runs past the Scottish Government building was being cut into with a circular saw. I wondered if they were installing more tactile paving slabs, since it was at the point where the footpath runs up to the Broomhouse tram stop.

@Arellcat More of those infernal things? I fear your guess is right since there was nothing wrong with that bit of path.
Excuse me while I go and chew some tinfoil as a pleasant distraction from thinking about it further...

The path along the East side of the Water of Leith walkway at the end of Baird Drive/Westfield Ave at the railway bridge was closed again this morning.
No reason given. No date of re-opening given. No diversion signed.
(If walking down the WoL the diversion would actually be very long (approx 800metres), involving going all the way along Pansy Lane, under the railway, then doubling back on yourself all the way along Baird Drive)
