Information provided by the owner states that the bridge was infilled and by-passed to accommodate heavy lorries, allowing them to avoid the very sharp turn on to the original bridge. The new railway project will be required to construct a new bridge to replicate this.

The Borders Railway Project proposals are to reinstate the Newcraighall to Tweedbank section of the former Waverley Line. The reinstated railway line will be approximately 48km long and the majority of the route will use the existing railway embankment.
Several field surveys, archaeological evaluations and standing building surveys were undertaken by CFA Archaeology from April 2009 until February 2015.
