Road closures and public transport
Following the fire at 109 Princes Street on Thursday 9 July, Princes Street remains closed between Charlotte Street and Frederick Street to all transport and pedestrians, with public transport including Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams affected. Diversions are in place and expected to last into August.
We're working with our transport partners on contingency plans and will keep this webpage up to date with the latest news on closures and diversions. We understand the disruption is frustrating however we must prioritise public safety while the building is made safe and investigations are ongoing. Please plan ahead for journeys as delays are expected.
