More Queensferry Road disruption ahead

SGN Gas Network Upgrade – Queensferry Road, Edinburgh

Scottish Gas Network:

Our work in the Queensferry Road area will begin on Thursday 13 February and last approximately four days. (Sun Feb 16)

During this project it will be necessary to close the following roads to ensure everyone’s safety:

Cammo Road at the junction with Queensferry Road.

During this time traffic will be diverted via Cammo Gardens and Maybury Road.

Queensferry Road will be down to ONE lane in both directions and may cause delays.

Signed local diversion routes will be in place for motorists, commuters and pedestrians.

This project have been planned to coincide with the school holidays, and when traffic is likely to be quieter, ensuring disruption is kept to a minimum.

We’ll be working extended hours to complete our works within the timeframe. We know that this is a busy area and wish to assure you that work will progress as quickly as possible and we’ll be doing everything we can to limit delays and disruption.

Please feel free to share this information with your stakeholders, colleagues and anyone else who may be impacted by our work. All local residents have been notified.

If you have any specific enquiries about this project, please call us on 0131 469 1728 during office hours (8am to 4.00pm) or 0800 912 1700 and our customer service team will be happy to help.

I’d like to thank you in advance for your support and understanding during this time.
