Transport Scotland's operating company BEAR Scotland will resurface the pedestrian footway on the A7 along Hillside Terrace in Selkirk.

Works are scheduled to start on Monday 20 July 2026 and will run for five weeks.

For safety, footway closures and temporary traffic lights will operate 24 hours a day from Monday to Friday between Tower Street and the junction with the A699 during the programme. No closures or signals will be in place at weekends.

Tommy Deans, BEAR Scotland's South East Network Manager, said: "We'll be renewing the pedestrian footway on the A7 along Hillside Terrace over the next few weeks.

"This forms part of our ongoing responsibility to maintain the trunk road and is not related to proposals for improving pedestrian safety in the town centre that were recently shared at a public exhibition.

"We'll do everything we can to complete these improvements as quickly and safely as possible. We’re grateful to local residents for their patience and understanding."

All works are weather dependent and may be postponed in the event of adverse conditions.
