We have released a Programme of Planned Maintenance works for 2023/24 covering all localities across the Borders.
Programme outlines maintenance works
The programme lists the main planned road maintenance schemes; planned works on bridge maintenance and street lighting. The plans, along with maps highlighting the location and type of works being carried out during 2023/2024, can be found at www.scotborders.gov.uk/programmeofplannedworks
We hope to be able to provide further information on planned maintenance in future updates, which will be of particular benefit to road users, enabling them to plan their journeys across the local area avoiding possible delays.
We would like to highlight that where an emergency situation arises or due to external forces out with our control, this could have an impact on the programme and cause it to change. We will, however, endeavour to keep any changes to a minimum to ensure that the works that have been identified as being a priority are carried out within the specified period of time.
It is our intention to provide updates on the progress of the programme of works throughout the year.
Information about road closures in the Scottish Borders can be found on our website at Road Works and Closures.
Anyone wishing to find out more information on maintenance works or would like to be contacted by an officer involved in the planning and coordination of these works should contact us by email, for road closure works and for bridge closure works.
Scottish Borders Council Convener and Hawick & Hermitage Ward Member, Watson McAteer:
“I’m delighted that a number of areas of the local network are being prioritised for improvement.
“I hope that publishing the information in this format will be both informative and helpful to local residents.”
