Upgrade the A75 route from Dumfries to the M6 to a dual carriageway
The Government should begin roadworks to upgrade the A75 from Dumfries to the M6 to dual carriageway standard.
The A75 is one of the most vital roads leading out of Scotland, It is the main route HGV's take coming out of Stranraer. Upgrading to a Dual carriageway would greatly increase efficiency and overall road safety.
