A72 Walkerburn Major Resurfacing Works
Please be advised that we have been informed that the A72 through Walkerburn will be closed to large vehicles between 08:00 and 17:00, from Monday 24 August to Friday 4th September 2026, excluding weekends, to allow major resurfacing works to take place.
As a result, the normal through operation of the X62 will be temporarily suspended during these times. A shuttle bus service will operate between the Caberston Road bus stop in Walkerburn (on Galashiels Road) and the lay-by on the eastern side of Innerleithen.
Bus stops beyond Caberston Road End and along the 20mph section towards Innerleithen will not be served while the roadworks are in place.
Customers travelling through the affected area will be required to transfer between the shuttle bus and the normal X62 service at the Caberston Road bus stop and the Innerleithen lay-by in order to continue their journey in either direction.
Minor delays are also expected throughout the duration of these works.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank customers for their patience and understanding while these essential road improvements are carried out.
Bus Stop Improvement Works.
Preparation works for new real-time information screens will begin at a number of bus stops across the Scottish Borders.
During these works, some bus stops may temporarily be without their usual bus stop pole or flag. These stops will remain in use and buses will continue to serve them as normal unless specifically advised otherwise.
Thank you for your patience while these improvements are carried out.

Due to severe congestion in Edinburgh city centre, X95, X62 and 51 services are experiencing significant delays, and some journeys may be cancelled.
Please allow extra time for travel and check for updates before you travel.
We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
