Question
To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to carry out a feasibility study into the dualling of the A75 between Dumfries and the M74.
Answer
The National Transport Strategy (NTS) Refresh, published in January 2016 makes reference to the consideration of a full NTS review in the next parliament, to tie in with the next National Planning Framework and followed by a refresh of the Strategic Transport Projects Review which was published in 2008.
This will enable the Scottish Government to take a comprehensive review of national infrastructure priorities including projects within Dumfries and Galloway.
In addition, Mr Swinney and I plan to host a transport summit in Dumfries and Galloway and I will provide the member with further details in due course.
