Scottish Water is planning an estimated 30 weeks of works in Colinton Dell, making improvements to their sewer network, beginning in late February 2020.

They have made a planning application to make a works compound in the former Colinton Station area, including the car park normally accessed from Gillespie Road, and the level ground close to that. It also involves vehicular access along the Water of Leith Walkway from there, including Colinton Tunnel, to their sewer site a distance downstream in the Kingsknowe area. The plan is for public access to the car park to be made available at weekends during the works.

There is an information event, a drop-in session in Colinton Library on Monday 17 February between 4pm and 7pm, by the Scottish Water project team.

For information about the works, see the following Scottish Water webpage:

Similar works to the sewers will be taking place elsewhere, including in the Juniper Green and Currie areas which is expected to involve temporary closures of sections of the Water of Leith Walkway in these localities.

SGN started a major pipework renewal project in Bridge Road on 12th October 2019. Bridge Road was closed for three weeks (had hoped for two weeks). During the closure period, bus services 45 and 400 did not serve Colinton, and were diverted via Craiglockhart Avenue and Lanark Road. From there, the works continued along Colinton Road to the junction with Redford Road, taking up to mid-December.

The next phase of the works is Redford Road from Colinton Road to Dreghorn Link which is scheduled to last from early January to May 2020. This will involve periods of closure of Redford Road from Colinton Road to Old Farm Place, then Old Farm Place to Redford Drive, and the use of temporary traffic lights.

Parking restrictions will also be in place on these and other adjoining roads during these works. SGN's information presentation can be seen on Colinton Community Council's website at SGN presentation on CCC website
