Ferry operators have revealed their “dismay” at the Scottish Government over the lack of improvements for two key routes to the port at Cairnryan.
StenaLine and P&O Ferries have been working with Belfast Harbour on ideas to improve the A75 and A77 and came up with 20 ideas in a document called Safer, Greener, Better.
However, when the Scottish Government published its second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2) earlier this year, only two of the proposals – a bypass for Springholm and Crocketford on the A75 and improving the A77 in South Ayrshire – made the final cut. There was a partial commitment to three other ideas.
