CEC has written to say:

'We are aware of the continued inconvenience caused by the closure of two bridges within Colinton and Craiglockhart Dell.  We would like to assure you that we are seeking solutions to allow these routes to be re-opened.

Our design consultant is aiming to have design plans completed for signoff by Bridges and Structures colleagues in February 2022.  The target for tendering and replacement of the bridges is therefore Autumn 2022.   There are questions relating to the gas pipe that uses the Redhall Weir bridge piers, this might have an effect on the timescale and we will be discussing this matter with British Gas in the near future.'
