Chapel Street Closed at junction with West Nicolson Street for emergency sewer repairs.
Chapel Steet has been closed between the junctions of West Nicolson Street and West Crosscauseway to carry out emergency repairs following a collapsed sewer.
The closure is expected to be in place for up to two weeks to facilitate the repairs.
The road closure is required due to the number of utilities in the road which is making the pipe more difficult to access.
Due to the depth of excavation, shoring is being installed to enable to teams to work safely.
The footpath will remain open for the duration of the works and road users are advised to follow the signed diversion.
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: “Scottish Water recognises the disruption that closures like this cause and our teams are working as quickly as possible to carry out this essential work. We would like to thank locals and road users for their patience and understanding.”
