Resurfacing work is to commence on High Street in Earlston early next month.

A section of the A6105 road will be resurfaced from 01 - 08 August.

Phase one of the project will close a section of the eastern end of the High Street for three days, with the next phase being carried out using a convoy system.

Councillor Gordon Edgar, Executive Member for Roads and Infrastructure, said: "Earlston High Street is an important route not just for local residents and businesses but as the A6105 is one of the main roads from the west to the east through the Borders.

"This resurfacing programme will vastly improve the road in Earlston, and with only a short-term daytime closure required.

"All road users are asked to follow signed diversions during the three day closure, and allow themselves some extra journey time throughout the works."

The works are part of the Borders' £2.6 million resurfacing programme for 2018.
