Bridge Street to reopen to traffic

The entrance to Bridge Street from Harbour Street, in Kirkwall, is due to re-open to traffic, tomorrow afternoon, Saturday.

Orkney Islands Council has said the usual one-way system in Laing Street will also be back in place from tomorrow afternoon — with traffic turning left into Laing Street from Albert Street.

The Bridge Street entrance has been closed to allow work to take place as part of the Harbour Street paving project.

The works began on January 15 but hit delays due to the bad weather seen over the past few weeks.
