Edinburgh Bridge Defaced Days After Reopening | Edinburgh News
Description
Edinburgh’s freshly restored North Bridge, painted in its historic Victorian colors and fully reopened after eight years of major restoration, was defaced with red graffiti within hours—just as traffic flowed freely again. The painstaking project, which began in 2018 and included grit blasting, repainting, and facade restoration, had disrupted travel and pedestrian access for years. Now, with the city’s festival season looming, officials face a painful irony: a symbol of civic pride turned overnight into a target for vandalism. Council teams are scrambling to clean it up, sparking questions about response speed and security measures for such a high-profile landmark.
