A new bridge is being constructed at Glenfield Road West to carry the new Borders Railway. The Borders Railway, scheduled to open in the summer of 2015, will run from Tweedbank in the Scottish Borders to Edinburgh on the rote of the former Waverley Line which was closed in 1969. For a similar view three weeks later with some bridge deck steelwork in position, see Image
