Brian Whittle welcomes start of Maybole bypass works

BW

Brian Whittle MSP has welcomed the start of works on the long awaited Maybole bypass saying:

“It’s fantastic to see the years of hard campaigning by Maybole residents and drivers on the A77 finally deliver a bypass for the town.

This bypass will make a big difference to drivers on the A77 and free Maybole from the impact of constant heavy traffic cutting through the town.

A bypass for Maybole is a step in the right direction but it’s far from the only improvement the A77 needs. I’ll continue to push for the Scottish Government to commit to the same kind of significant, long term investment along the A77 as we’ve seen on roads like the A9.

The bypass must be the first of many improvements to the A77, not the only one.”
