Road resurfacing works - Merchiston campus

The City of Edinburgh Council is currently carrying out road resurfacing works near Merchiston campus, 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.

Upcoming phases of work

• Parking will be accessible via Merchiston Crescent and the west end of Mardale Crescent.
• Signposting will be in place for those walking, wheeling or cycling. The lower quadrangle will remain accessible via Merchiston Crescent and the west end of Mardale Crescent.
