The final phase of the Galashiels Inner Relief Road scheme was opened on the 17th July 2012 with the reintroduction of two way traffic in Ladhope Vale for the first time in 20 years. This is a view towards a new mini roundabout at the junction of Ladhope Vale, Bridge Place and High Buckholmside. Workers from the Borders Regional Council Road Department were in attendance to monitor traffic on the new layout and although no accidents occurred there were a few near misses. A new brick-faced concrete retaining wall on the right was constructed in conjunction with the new road works in preparation for the reintroduction of the Borders Railway Line. For a similar view of this top end of Ladhope Vale in September 2007, see Image
