Council release programme of planned works for Scottish Borders

Programme of 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 on our planned works webpages.

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 key road closures and roadworks in the Scottish Borders can be found on our website.

“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.”
