Minister tours route of planned improvements along the banks of Loch Lomond.

Transport Minister Derek Mackay was driven today in an HGV along the over 10 mile section of the A82 between Tarbet and Inverarnan which is to be upgraded.

The design work for the scheme along the banks of Loch Lomond is on-going and it is hoped that a preferred route will be identified and public exhibitions held during September.

The Minister started his journey in Tyndrum which took him through the recently completed Crianlarich Bypass and the Pulpit Rock improvement scheme, which finally removed the traffic lights from the location after more than 30 years and enabled the free flow of traffic.
