Borders Railway’s bypass plan on track [Evening News]





Date: 10/03/2014

RAIL bosses aim to have traffic back on the original route of the City Bypass by early May as they complete the most ambitious section of the Borders Railway project. Up to 50,000 motorists a day have been diverted along a like-for-like dual carriageway since September last year while engineers tunnel beneath the original bypass.

This will allow a section of the main carriageway to be taken out of use, followed by excavation work to enable the the Borders Railway to pass below the road.
