The Council is responsible for the management and maintenance of all public roads in the Borders, with the exception of trunk roads, which are managed by a management contractor that works on behalf of the Scottish Executive. Check the following links to see which roads are trunk roads and which are council-maintained.

For any enquiry concerning trunk roads, please contact Amey Highways on 0800 085 7135
