It is thought the works will take around six weeks to complete and will see improvements made to the road surface, footpaths, parking and loading bays.

The Council has said it will attempt to minimise disruption of the works, which are part of the wider town centre improvements being carried out. The works are part of the final infrastructure improvement scheme of the Galashiels Inner Relief Road - GIRR 4.
