Road Works
The whole street, and the pavement along the south side of the
street from here to the Scott Monument, about half a mile to the
east, is currently (at July 2009) taken
up by road works to lay the tracks for the new Edinburgh trams.
The trams are due to start operating in 2011 - or more likely,
2012.
UPDATE September 2011: Latest
estimated date for running to start, 2014.
The pavement along the north side of Princes Street beside the
shops is still open to pedestrians.
Princes Street is due to re-open to traffic and pedestrians in late-November, in
time for Edinburgh's Winter Festival, 2009. |
