Princes Street closure
A section of Princes Street is expected to remain closed until at least late August following a fire at the former Debenhams store in the early hours of 9 July.
Work is continuing to make the building safe while ensuring its historic features are preserved. This is complex work and will take time.
West Princes Street is closed to all vehicles from Frederick Street to South Charlotte Street and diversions are in place.
Pedestrians can still access Princes Street except in the cordon area around the former Debenhams building (109 - 112 Princes Street). Rose Street is also open for pedestrians.
Buses are currently rerouted along George Street and Queen Street, with trams only operating to and from the airport and Shandwick Place. No trams are running between Princes Street, Leith and Newhaven.
We understand that the disruption and delays are frustrating but we must prioritise public safety.
Please plan ahead. We will keep these webpages regularly updated with the latest information and travel advice.
