However, the work will now be completed by Sunday, May 18.
Due to the delay, ScotRail said that Platform 1 at the East End station will remain closed.
A Network Rail spokesperson said: “Our £1.75million project to rebuild Alexandra Parade’s Platform 1 is taking longer than expected to complete.
“It’ll now reopen for ScotRail services on Sunday, May 18. We’re sorry – we know this is frustrating, and we’re working to complete the job as quickly as possible.”
