ESSENTIAL REPAIRS TO CULVERT UNDER A68

June 17, 2022

  • 24/7 northbound lane closure 27 June to 17 July 2022

Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland is to carry out scour repair works on a culvert that passes under the A68 approximately two miles south of Lauder.

The A68 will be restricted to a single lane at this location from Monday 27 June until Sunday 17 July, with traffic controlled by temporary traffic lights 24 hours a day.

Chris Tracey, BEAR Scotland’s South East Unit Bridges Manager, said: “These repair works are required to safeguard the integrity of the culvert and the road above.

“It is essential for safety that we close one lane of the A68 during the works.

“We thank motorists and the local community in advance for their patience and understanding.”

Consultation has been carried out with emergency services and relevant stakeholders to share information about the works in advance.
