Harrison Road Bridge update from @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social
Old brick arches and cast iron beams removed with a 110t crane. Abutments are being prepped for new precast concrete beams due on site within 2 weeks. Canal Bridge topside design finished with new kerbs & 7.5t limit signs.
Like a bicycle, there’s nothing inherently “dangerous” about this vehicle
It’s cars that are dangerous (and getting more dangerous due to bloat)

Could you do something about the long delays at crossings faced by people walking along the Home St / Tollcross / Earl Grey St / Lothian Rd corridor?
Waiting at the King’ theatre junction on Sunday evening for minutes, along with ~40 others, many gave up & crossed on the red man. Only 3 or 4 cars
We should probably ban cars until we figure out why this keeps happening.
