Pedal for Scotland are holding
an event on Sunday and there will be road closures and traffic
restrictions from 5.00am to 8.00pm. As the end of the event is at
Murrayfield stadium this will result in some access restrictions at the
rink.
There will be no access from Corstorphine road into Riversdale Crescent
(opposite Murrayfield Hotel). You will have to access Riversdale
Crescent from the junction of Corstorphine road and Saughtonhall Drive
(this does not affect anyone coming down past Jenner's Depository).
There is still access over the bridge into the ice rink car park but
cars will only have access on one side of the bridge for both in and
out. Stewards will control the flow of traffic over the bridge. Please
be patient and courteous and give yourself a little extra time to get
in.

Details about the event can be found on their
