Drygrange New Bridge
Drygrange New Bridge
Replacing the old bridge just upstream this is a modern steel box girder bridge carrying the A68 over the Tweed at a higher level from St Boswells to Earlston. It is situated near where the Leader Water meets the Tweed.
With rust spots appearing on the box girder above the left pillar one wonders if it will last as well as the adjacent bridges.
