BEAR Scotland maintain and manage trunk roads, including all aspects of the winter service.
Certain major roads, known as trunk roads, are not our responsibility. These include:
- A7 south of Galashiels
- A68
- A1
- A702
- A6091.
Consequently, any query regarding these roads should be directed to BEAR on 0800 138 9903 or via the BEAR Scotland website.
We are responsible for winter maintenance (including gritting and snow clearance) of the rest of the Scottish Borders road network. The service normally runs from beginning of November to end of March however this may vary due to actual weather conditions.
