A737 Dalry Bypass

Overview

Project Benefits

The Dalry Bypass will encourage improved economic and employment opportunities through better journey time reliability for motorists and businesses along the length of the A737. In addition, the Dalry Bypass helps separate local from strategic traffic and leads to improved safety for both rural road users and communities.
