Transport Scotland has confirmed they are moving forward with the grade-separated junction project as we requested. Our formal correspondence reached the necessary desk and the decision reflects the pressure we placed on their planning department. I will track the construction schedule closely to ensure the work proceeds without further delays.
We the undersigned:
- note that the Sheriffhall roundabout is now used by over 18,000 vehicles per day
- recognise that the 4800 new homes at Shawfair will place additional pressure on the junction
- express our concern at the appalling levels of congestion at Sheriffhall at peak-time, and
- call on Scottish Executive and its agency Transport Scotland to tackle the congestion by proceeding with a grade-separated junction without delay.
The scale of this support has secured us a formal meeting with representatives from Transport Scotland to discuss the grade-separated junction proposal. I am currently drafting the briefing document to present our case for immediate infrastructure investment at that site.

About time! This junction is a total disaster and with all the new houses at Shawfair it is only going to get way worse.

Living in Bonnyrigg is a nightmare every morning because of this roundabout. It takes me 20 mins just to get off the bypass. Enough is enough.

I sit in traffic here at 7am and again at 5pm. Tired of wasting hours of my life just sitting in a car going nowhere.

Sheriffhall is dangerous. People get so frustrated they just start cutting each other off. Accidents waiting to happen every single day.
