5.10 Implementation of the Closure of Roads and Access to Frontages

The Contractor shall not close any road or private accesses until immediately before the area is required for construction in accordance with the Contract and the agreed programme of works. The construction of the works shall follow in the area of a temporary closure expeditiously and shall be carried out efficiently and in a continuous manner to ensure that all temporary closures are re-opened as quickly as possible.

The Contractor shall, in carrying out the Edinburgh Tram works, take all reasonable precautions to prevent or reduce any disturbance or inconvenience to the owners, tenants or occupiers of adjacent properties, and to the public generally. The owners, tenants or occupiers of affected properties shall be informed of the works to be undertaken, their planned duration, road and access closures and alternative access routes (where required) in writing and by locally posted public notices at least one calendar month prior to work starting.
