Leith Programme Phase 4 (Pilrig Street to McDonald Road) contractor mobilisation on site

A reminder that following the procurement process for Phase 4 of the Leith Programme, Land Engineering Ltd was appointed to deliver the Pilrig Street to McDonald Road section of our improvement works. Land Engineering are currently mobilising on site, ahead of a 10 month construction period due to start in September 2016, with a planned completion date expected in Summer 2017.

In addition, in advance of the Council deciding on whether or not to extend the tram line north of York Place, enabling works will be incorporated in the footways in order to ensure that, should the decision be taken in 2017 to extend the current line, future disruption impacting on the local area is kept to a minimum.

Anticipated timescales

We would like to let you know that we are on course to commence the next phase of the Leith Programme works this Summer as previously reported in our last stakeholder update. Following the Council’s approving of the making of the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) and Redetermination Order (RSO) at the Transport and Environment Committee of 7th June 2016, the team have been working hard to complete the procurement process to appoint the contractor for the forthcoming section of works and we are confident that work will start in late August/early September. Once we have selected the successful contractor we will, of course, share this with you and will carry out a large scale letter drop over the wider area to ensure people are kept fully informed. It is anticipated that the works will take around 10 months to complete. Continue reading →
