Sir, I have to agree with Mr Jack Temple in his letter (Border Telegraph, April 2) and ask why a total closure of the B710 road at Bowland for five months is required to construct a bridge.
Similar constructions are on-going at this very moment at Wheatlands Road and Currie Road in Galashiels with traffic management in place, and the only closure that will be inevitable is to lift the bridge sections in place as we have seen recently at Hardengreen roundabout.
An explanation from the Borders Railway engineers concerned would be most welcome.
I am, etc.
