Emergency Repairs
Albion Road in Edinburgh is currently closed to enable emergency repairs to a collapsed manhole.
A road closure is in place on Edinburgh's Albion Road while we carry out emergency repairs on a collapsed manhole.
The manhole is located on the footpath at Albion Road, and the road remains closed between the junction of Easter Road and the junction at Harrismith Place. Local diversions are in place via Albion Place and St Clair Street.
Pedestrian access remains in place.
The area is being made safe and secure fencing is being installed around the affected section.
We have also been in contact with Hibernian FC and City of Edinburgh Council to ensure they are kept informed.
Given Hibernian FC’s home match against Kilmarnock on Sunday 10 August, no excavation work will take place until next week. We will have two members of staff present on site before, during, and after the match to support safe pedestrian access and public safety.
Customers’ waste water services remain unaffected.
We will provide further information when it is possible to do so. The repair is being carefully planned.
We apologise to residents and road users in the area for any inconvenience caused while we carry out these essential repairs.
