Edinburgh's North Bridge Finally Reopens

Edinburgh’s North Bridge, a vital link between the Old and New Towns, has been a decade-long nightmare—closed, rerouted, and frustrating locals and visitors since 2018. What began as a simple water-damage fix ballooned into an eight-year, £86 million mess, far exceeding the original £12 million budget. But relief is near: by July, the bridge will reopen fully for traffic and pedestrians, just in time for the Fringe in August. Underneath, repairs will keep going—but at least the surface will be back to normal. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
