Pine Street Dunbar

What we are doing

Scottish Water is delivering major upgrades to the waste water network in Dunbar.

Work began in Pine Street on Monday 30 June and is moving along Pine Street in five phases, lasting approximately 18 weeks.

In order to carry out our work safely we are required to close sections of Pine Street to all public vehicles during the dates above, suspending parking as we move along.

Pedestrian access to properties within the road closure is being maintained, however parking within this area is not permitted during our work.

As we move from Phase 1 to 2, 3 etc we will lift the previous road closure onto the new phase. We will only operate one phase at a time, not all five simultaneously. Each phase is planned to last approximately one month each. 

We appreciate the traffic management that has been drawn up in consultation with East Lothian Council will cause some disruption for residents and road users. We thank them for their patience and understanding while we carry out this essential work to maintain the local sewer network.

The work is being delivered by George Leslie on behalf of Scottish Water Horizons.

Latest update - October 2025

• We are now in the final phase of our Scottish Water Horizons project to upgrade the waste water network in Dunbar.
• We have completed installation of a new drainage sewer pipe in the grounds of Dunbar Grammar School and the affected area has been fully resurfaced.
• Traffic restrictions on Pine Street have been removed and our teams are currently in the process of upsizing pipework within the recreational ground. This work is progressing well with new manholes currently being installed. A footpath restriction is in place in the vicinity of the site compound.
