Scottish Water is due to begin sewer network repair works in Edinburgh.
The utility will repair a manhole on Thistle Street after several instances of internal flooding at two different business premises in the last few months. Work is due to begin on Tuesday, 05 June.
To carry out the work, the road will close close from the junction with Frederick Street to the junction with Thistle Street NW and SW. Diversions will be in place.
Joanna Peebles. Communications Manager at Scottish Water, said: "The nature of where the manhole is situated requires us to close a short section of Thistle Street. We appreciate this is a busy city centre street and that our travel and parking restrictions may cause some inconvenience.
"We apologise to local residents, businesses and commuters for the disruption but this is essential work which must be carried out to prevent any more internal flooding to premises in the area."
