I can't wait. All this time I've been worried sick about catching corona and dying but now I feel so much happier knowing I can get from Scotch Corner to Penrith quicker. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Any remaining stretches of single carriageway between Scotch Corner and Penrith will be dualled, I'm guessing that's what the OP is referring to?

Any remaining stretches of single carriageway between Scotch Corner and Penrith will be duelled, I'm guessing that's what the OP is referring to?

Imagine if he'd announced upgrading the A1 north of Morpeth to dual carriageway. I don't think I could take that level of hedonism.

Great policy indeed

It is good news but would have been done years ago already if the Tories hadnt cancelled the dualling upgrades which were underway back in 2010. A read of their announcement shows theve only committed to the route, design, consultation and a further scrutiny period, not actually building it yet.

Route announced for £1 billion Trans-Pennine dualling transformation

Major upgrades to a northern Trans-Pennine route are a step closer today with the official preferred route announced for the £1 billion A66 upgrade.

Should do the a69. It's the main route down from the West of Scotland.

I'd say more traffic uses the a66, its a shorter route if you're heading to the West of Scotland from the south
