North Bridge Reopens After 8-Year Renovation

Edinburgh’s North Bridge, hidden from public view for eight years, is finally set to reopen by July after an epic £86 million renovation — a journey marked by unexpected discoveries, detours, and delays that began with a water leak in 2016. The council calls it “fantastic,” as pedestrians and traffic will once again flow freely across both sides — just in time for summer festivals. Even after reopening, work continues beneath the bridge, where a new time capsule joins the original one from 1894–1897, sealing its triumphant return.
