The A75

The A75 is a Primary Trunk Road; the main through route for traffic between northern England and Northern Ireland (more specifically the ferry terminal from Cairnryan to Belfast and Larne). It runs for 95½ miles between Stranraer and the A74(M) at Gretna, close to the Border with England and the M6 Motorway. Although it is an important trunk route (it is also a Euroroute, the E18), and has been subject to a number of upgrades over the years, the majority of the road is still single-carriageway although there are a few short dual carriageway sections and some three-lane sections which allow overtaking in one direction.
