My Department's Roads Service is progressing plans for the provision of a 7 km stretch of dual carriageway on the A26, between Glarryford and the A44 Drones Road.

This is one of the major projects included in the ten year Investment Delivery Plan for Roads.

In August 2008, I announced the preferred route which closely follows the existing corridor. The route is currently being taken through the final stage of the scheme assessment process. This will culminate in the publication of an Environmental Statement and draft Orders, for planning and land acquisition, which I would anticipate occurring in mid-2011.

It is anticipated that construction will commence in the latter part of the Investment Delivery Plan period.

Yours Cllr Daithi Mckay
