In line with recognised best practice our expenditure predictions are determined from our backlog models on a network basis. As the calculation of the maintenance backlog involves the analysis of the trunk road network as a whole, backlog figures are not available for individual routes.

Currently there are no plans to connect Dumfries and Annan directly to the West Coast Main Line. However, the Scottish Government is committed to improving connectivity to promote sustainable economic growth and proposals will be considered subject to the Scottish Government’s investment priorities for the strategic transport network, which are supported by a robust business case, subject to affordability and other competing priorities.

In the first instance, promoters should contact the South West Scotland Regional Transport Partnership (SWestrans) to establish if the proposal fits with their local and regional transport strategies.
