It was on Sunday 23 December 2012 that the floods damaged that bridge in Hatton beyond repair.   Now three months on, on Sunday 24 March 2013 we see that progress is being made on creating a temporary bridge to allow vehicles to cross the burn again.

When you see the extent of the earth works involved, it is no wonder it has taken a long time, with so much necessary preparatory work needing to be done by for gas, electricity and water.

But the burn is now bridged, though it will be some time before the cars make the journey to hatton Farm Road and behond.
