Meanwhile, ice hockey fans have been warned about the closure of Riversdale Crescent Road at its junction with Corstorphine Road for the installation of the flood gates on Riversdale Crescent bridges.
Riversdale Crescent, from Murrayfield Ice Rink vehicle bridge towards Corstorphine Road, will close from Monday 21 November to April 2017.
Local access will be provided from the west side of Riversdale Crescent for the Chinese Consulate and the apartments at 14b. This will be an access only with no drop off/waiting facility.
Pedestrian access will remain with a diversion in place to Murrayfield Medical Centre, Riversdale Crescent and Corstorphine Road.
The work will be carried out in 2 phases. Phase 1 will be to install the flood gates on the pedestrian bridge and the wall between both bridges.
