The works, part of the council’s £2.6m resurfacing programme, will take place in two phases.

Councillor Gordon Edgar, executive member for roads and infrastructure, said: “This latest resurfacing project will be welcomed by users of the A72 and Innerleithen residents, with the road showing signs of wear and tear from previous severe weather and the high number of vehicles which use it.

“With Dirtpot Corner improvements currently ongoing with traffic lights in use, I would encourage anyone using the A72 to give themselves extra time during the works.”
