Scottish Road Project Completed Early On Budget
A £10.6m road improvement project in Scotland has been completed early and on budget, it has been announced.
Completion of the A77 Symington and Bogend Toll Improvements project was announced by Scottish Transport Minister Keith Brown.

Following a visit to the site, Minister Brown, said: "This project has always been about improving safety for road users on this stretch of road so the fact that it has been completed early couldn’t be better for road users who will now reap the full benefits of scheme. They now have access to two new flyover junctions which will provides them with safer access to and from the A77.
