Commuters and drivers have been warned that a section of Leith Walk will be closed once again.
This comes as the street opened in February to both directions of traffic after being closed for three years. Leith Walk has undergone a vast amount of work as tram lines and cycle paths have been put in place.
From Thursday March 30 for around three days, Leith Walk will be closed to traffic southbound between Foot of the Walk and Pilrig Street.
