Edinburgh Evening News - Edinburgh - Gas works set to cook up summer road chaos

Well it looks like the roadwork free Slateford road is about to get a pounding. Due to gas main replacement on Gorgie Road, East bound traffic will be diverted up Robertson Avenue, along Slateford Road, and down Ardmillan Terrace.

In Gorgie Road, 500 metres of new gas main is to be installed between Stewart Terrace and McLeod Street at a cost of £275,000.

Work is due to start on the 2st May and last 3 months. Wonder how long it will actually last?

There’s something wrong with diverting the eastbound traffic though. Traffic will have to turn right on to robertson avenue, crossing the westbound traffic flow. Once on Ardmillan Terrace the traffic will once again have to cross the traffic stream going westbound.

As seen on Lothian Road, for most of the time there’s nobody on site, and when there is, there’s only 2 or 3 guys about. No rush, just get it done without killing somebody.
