Royal Border Bridge

The iconic Royal Border Bridge in Northumberland will be repaired throughout 2022 in a major project led by Network Rail.

Work on the scheme began earlier this month and will run until November 2022. During this time, engineers will repair all 28 arches of the Grade I listed bridge, which sits across the River Tweed.

Carefully planned structural repairs should mean that the bridge won’t require any major maintenance work for the next 30 years, allowing the landmark to be enjoyed for years to come without impacting the community.
