Welcome

In March 2025, we held a ’Meet the Team’ event to introduce the people working on the A75 Springholm and Crocketford Improvements scheme and provide an opportunity to find out more about the design and assessment work involved in taking the project forward.

Since then, Transport Scotland and its technical advisors, Jacobs, have been reviewing studies undertaken as part of previous strategic assessment work and developing a clearer picture of the key challenges to be faced and opportunities available through making improvements to the A75 around Springholm and Crocketford.

This exhibition presents the findings of the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Stage 1 Assessment, the improvement strategies identified and the early development of route options as part of the ongoing DMRB Stage 2 Assessment. Detailed development and assessment of the initial route options presented here today has yet to be undertaken and we are seeking your feedback which will help inform this work going forward.

We’d like to hear your views on:

• Local features or constraints that you think may be important for us to know about
• How the different options may affect you
• Any other options that you think we should consider

Please take the time to review the information and provide your feedback by completing a feedback form or sending it to us.
