A702 Biggar Bypass

The A702 is a key route from Edinburgh to the south. Which is the best way to bypass Biggar, Coulter and Lamington?

A702 penicuik1

Of course it wouldn't be too hard to dual the 702 on its current course NW of Penicuik, but there's something to be said for rerouting it onto the 701 as it arrives at the Edinburgh bypass.

3 Generations of A74, Crawford

Just north of Crawford, original alignment straight ahead, 1960s (where the silver Porsche is) to the left, and 1990s A74(M) further left

Original A74, north of Crawford

Just to the north of Crawford, this old alignment remains in use as access to a farm and a BT building. 1960s alignment to the right and 1990s A74(M) to the right of that. Quite a lot of the 1920s/30s A74 seems to have been surfaced in this red tar surface. Perhaps a local stone but does anyone know if there was a more practical reason for this?

Original A74, Crawford

Looking south from a little further back, the original alignment exits Crawford behind my car (blue one), whilst the other car is about to meet the junction with the 1960s alignment

Old A74, Abington

This was the old junction at Abington, looking north. Glasgow A74 to the left, Edinburgh to the right. Now the road up to the left is just a stub, and the road to the right goes up to the roundabout at Abington service area.

A702, normally a busy link between Edinburgh and England, is now quiet as it is again closed at West Linton for reconstruction of the carriageway.

Road to Abington near White Hill The lorry on the left is on the M74.

A702 and M74 Both roads more or less follow the line of the old A74 at this point just south of Abington. The hill with the mast in the background is Craighead Hill.

The A702 near Boghead

Roundabout west of Crawford The junction is at the intersection of the A702, a slip-road from the M74 and a local road into Crawford.

A702 and M 74 South of Abington

Upper Clyde Valley View along the Upper Clyde Valley from the Abington Service Area.

The roundabout in the middle distance is where the roads to Lanark and Biggar diverge. In the not too distant past there was no roundabout, just a fork in the road.

The prominent hill in the distance is Tinto with its very large cairn at the summit just discernable.

Old 'Clearway end' signs, original A74, Crawford

This old stub of the original A74 comes off the 1960s alignment just north of Crawford, to serve a farm & BT building. Clearway end signs date back to when the 1960s alignment was the main route.

West Water Bridge There's some sort of work going on here, but the obstinately red traffic light offered the opportunity for a quick shot of the road crossing the West Water.

non-bus lane. Lothian Road (A700) approaching Princes Street in Edinburgh.

Pointless bit of bus lane in the heart of Edinburgh city centre. All service buses using Lothian Rd use the stop (where the picture is taken from), then turn right onto Princess St. It means as soon as buses leave the stop they need to get over to the right, and leave the bus lane empty (or for law breakers!)
