A new poll shows more than 90 per cent of people want to see two key roads upgraded.
The South West Scotland Transport Alliance has also revealed more than three-quarters of people want the A75 and A77 improved for safety reasons.
The findings have been revealed as the alliance – which is led by Stena Line, P&O Ferries and Belfast Harbour – holds an exhibition at the Scottish Parliament highlighting the case for upgrades to MSPs.
