Scottish Water is addressing damage to a cundy carrying waste water to the main sewer that has caused internal flooding in a building. Crews will need to dig to a depth of at least 3 metres to access the damaged pipe.
The closure will take place at the junction with George IV Bridge, near the National Museum of Scotland and Greyfriars Kirkyard.

According to a spokesperson for Scottish Water, efforts will be made to minimise disruption, and pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the work.
The repair work is expected to take up to two weeks to complete.
Traffic heading towards George IV Bridge will be diverted down Bristo Place, along Potterrow, Marshall Street, Nicholson Square and Nicholson Street, then along Chambers Street and back onto George IV Bridge.
Road users are being asked to follow all signs and to allow extra time for their journey.
All businesses in the area will remain open as usual during the repair work.
