MID CALDER PATH/NCN75
The path linking AlmondelI with Mid Calder remains temporarily closed to allow for construction works at Mid Calder weir where a new fish pass is being created. This route also forms part of National Cycle Network 75. Diversion for both pedestrians and cyclists is via road and pavement between Mid Calder and East Calder and has been signposted by Sustrans with yellow diversion signs. Works are progressing but have been subject to delay due to inclement weather but will hopefully be open towards the end of May 2022.
