kilmarnock bypass
Actually some of it was built and was called the Western Road. its dual carriageway most of the way.
However this stub exists just south of the Irvine Road where the road finishes.

Re: kilmarnock bypass
Bart's maps are beautiful things to look at, but are often slightly at variance with the actualité. Very high production values - printed on heavy stock and board-bound - but not aligned with the facts on the ground. I wonder how many people came a cropper as a result?fras wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 22:10 If you look at the 1:25000 level on Bing Maps OS pages, there seems to have been a path left for it to continue south until it gets to the Troon railway line, then it peters out. One has to wonder why Bartholomews put it in as built rather than putting a dashed red line.

Well, remember that Bart's produced a bunch of maps in 1922 containing the draft road list, including the A7 going to Berwick and the A2 going via Gravesend in a desperate bid to be ahead of the competition.

From the SABRE Wiki: B7064 :
The B7064 is a link route in two parts on the west and north western sides of Kilmarnock in Ayrshire.
The first, relatively recent, section is a short link running for just under a mile from the A759 north, across the A71 to meet the A7081. It starts at a TOTSO junction on the north side of the bridge carrying the A759 over the Kilmarnock to Troon
