Road resurfacing works - Merchiston campus

The City of Edinburgh Council will be carrying out road resurfacing works near Merchiston campus from Monday 17 March, which will impact access to the campus and car park.

The works are scheduled to take place on Blantyre Terrace and Mardale Crescent and may involve road closures and diversions. Please plan ahead, as there will be disruption around Merchiston, including temporary closures of the campus car park. Those entering via the lower quad may also experience access issues.

Planned phases of work

Phase one: Monday 17 - Friday 21 March

• Works should not block access to campus or parking, but there may be temporary road disruption due to pavement and gully works.
