The westbound lane of the road will be closed at Neidpath from today (Friday 6 February) for safety reasons.

This will allow the wall to be assessed by Scottish Borders Council (SBC) and determine the extent of the deterioration.

Following this assessment, the Council will develop options and identify costs of repairing the wall.

At present, there are no timescales on how long the lane closure will be in operation, with further information available after the assessment of the wall has taken place.

However, the Council does recognise the inconvenience to drivers and is working to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
