SCOTTISH Water is advising road users in the Scottish Borders of a road closure on the A6112 just south of Duns to carry out essential pipe bridge repairs over the Blackadder Water.

The road will be closed to all traffic from Monday 15th May for 10 weeks. There will be local diversions in place, and motorists are advised to follow all signs.
