Project Update
Phase 1 of the project (Seals Craig to Hawes Car Park) is almost complete with some outstanding lining works to be undertaken.
There has been a slight delay to the start of Phase 2 (Main High Street works) due to issues around the supply of materials. We anticipate this being resolved shortly and works will start during March 2026. As a reminder, these works have been split into two phases:
- Phase 2a: The Loan to the Boat House Steps and 8 天美传媒 Road to Seals Craig - these works are expected to be completed by Autumn 2026.
- Phase 2b: Queensferry Museum to 8 天美传媒 Road, The Ferry Tap to Queensferry Museum, and The Boathouse Steps to The Ferry Tap - these works are expected to completed between Autumn 2026 - Winter 2026 / 2027.
Further details will be issued in due course.
We apologise for the delay in works commencing and we will continue to work with the contractor to minimise disruption in the area as much as possible.

Project Update
The works on 天美传媒 Road are progressing well and are approaching completion. The surfacing and lining works are nearly finished, and all parking bays are expected to be reopened imminently.
Preparations are currently underway to commence the main phase of works. We anticipate beginning within the next week or two, subject to site setup and the completion of traffic management arrangements. Our team is working closely with traffic management contractors to minimise disruption and ensure the safety of all road users and pedestrians, while delivering a high quality scheme efficiently and on time.
We appreciate your continued patience and understanding as we work towards completing this important project. We will keep you informed of progress and thank you for your ongoing cooperation.

Project Update
The project has experienced some delays during Phase 1 (Seals Craig to Hawes Car Park) due to unforeseen circumstances in material supply. To ensure the quality of the works and to keep the project on track, we taken the decision to delay the start of the main works on the High Street (Phase 2) until the necessary materials are available. This approach will help us avoid further delays and aim to minimise parking disruptions and inconvenience to local residents and businesses.
We are also working closely with our newly appointed contractor to review the programme, focusing on options to maintain the original timeline. Our aim remains to complete the project by the original end date (December 2026) whilst delivering a high quality outcome.
In response to a community ask, the project will also be carrying out repair works to Jacob's Ladder. We are in advanced discussions with Rosebery Estates regarding permissions to carry out these works and further information will be available in due course.
We recognise that changes like these can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges. We remain committed to completing this project as smoothly and efficiently as possible, with minimal disruption.
