If you are travelling to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh or Royal Hospital of Children and Young People for an appointment, please be aware of road works which are due to commence Monday 17 October 2022, for 24 Weeks as this will affect your travel time to your appointment. In addition, the carriageway at the junction of Lasswade Road / Captain’s Road will be resurfaced starting Monday 13 March for 2 weeks. During this time, 4-way temporary traffic lights will be in place at the junction.
Old Dalkeith Road
The road works will result in 2-way Temporary Lights on Old Dalkeith Road near Little France Campus. The lights will move as work progresses from the campus up towards Shawfair Park and Ride/Train station. This will take a break for 2 weeks from Friday 23 December 2022 until Friday 6 January 2023.
We have been informed that this will result in a minimum of 20 minutes delay up to 50 minutes at peak times.
It has been suggested that people travelling to these sites should instead travel via Gilmerton Road, Edinburgh which runs parallel to Dalkeith Road, to access the Campus, as this may limit time impact.
Lasswade Road / Captain’s Road
The carriageway at the junction of Lasswade Road / Captain’s Road will be resurfaced starting Monday 13 March for 2 weeks. During this time, 4-way temporary traffic lights will be in place at the junction. The temporary traffic lights will be removed before the peak traffic period each afternoon.
