To ask the Scottish Executive when it expects the planned improvements to the A737 at the Head Street and Barrmill Road junctions in Beith and the Den realignment outside Dalry to be completed.
The Head Street scheme has completed the statutory process; the Den realignment scheme is currently in preparation and construction of both schemes is dependent on the availability of funding and the competing priorities of other schemes on the network.
At Barrmill Road the A737 Road Safety Route Action Plan is on-going. It will propose measures aimed at reducing the number of injury accidents. Some of the early identified outcomes from the bend assessment section of this Road Safety Route Action Plan will be implemented during December 2011.
