Edinburgh trams: Leith Walk may be hit by 18 months of disruption [BBC News]





Date: 29/08/2017

A proposed extension of Edinburgh's tram line would cut one of Edinburgh's busiest streets down to one lane for 18 months. The closure of three lanes on Leith Walk would begin when construction on the £165.2m project, if approved, gets under way in 2019. A business case details extending the line by 2.8 miles (4.6km) from York Place to Newhaven.
