Active Travel

The implementation of suitable active travel options for walking, wheeling and horse riding is an important part of the A75 Springholm and Crocketford Improvements. Any new active travel features proposed will blend with the existing network of paths and cycle routes and connect with public transport where possible.

The three improvement strategies recommended for detailed assessment are all expected to result in a significant reduction in traffic through Springholm and Crocketford.

This will help to improve road safety and make active travel more attractive for local, everyday journeys.

The design of active travel features will be developed through the DMRB Stage 2 Assessment and we will engage and consult with interested groups and the local community to inform the design.
