Redbridge Viaduct

Following closure of the Waverley route in 1969 (see 56117) much of the old trackbed through Galashiels was turned into a walkway / cycleway. This conversion included the infilling of the overbridge that had carried Winston Road over the line (see 42351). In 2013 work got underway to re-excavate the cutting and construct a new road bridge over the planned Borders Railway, resulting in closure of the road for over a year. View is north from Winston Road on 18 September 2013 not long after re-excavation activity commenced.
