Princes Street Closed for Safety | Edinburgh News
Description
Princes Street’s shut for a whole month—until August—thanks to the July ninth Debenhams fire, forcing major traffic shifts and business disruptions. Events like the Edinburgh Festival Carnival and the Scotland vs Fiji rugby match are being rerouted or reworked, while trams are cut back to just airport to Shandwick Place. Council teams are helping affected shops, with a hopeful sign that Rose Street stores might reopen this Saturday. To ease the squeeze, Voi Bikes are expanding from 800 to 1,000 bikes next week, plus new parking spots near Leith and Newhaven. City leaders are collaborating with festival groups to find new event spots and reassure the public: the city center’s still open for business—just check the official site for real-time updates.
