| Information | |
The A7 Tweed Bridge is a modern, concrete beam bridge which carries the A7 across the River Tweed upstream of Galashiels, between Selkirkshire on the north-west bank and Roxburghshire on the south-eastern bank.
The bridge crosses close to where the Ettrick Water enters the Tweed. It is a low bridge resting on concrete piers, set among the hills.
The bridge serves a trunk route which replaced the local roads crossing on bridge, in particular the Sunderland Hall Bridge, which stands close by just upstream.
