McMillan Welcomes Funding for A78 Greenock

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) has today (Monday) welcomed the announcement from Amey that a Transport Scotland scheme on the A78 next month will see the trunk road return to carrying traffic in both directions on Inverkip Street through Greenock.

Managed by Amey, the £145,000 project includes alterations to South Street Roundabout, resurfacing of Inverkip Street at Newton Street junction, kerbing realignment, signing changes, and new road markings.

The works on the roundabout at South Street are scheduled to last 10 days, starting Friday 8th October, with works by Newton Street following on after.

Mr McMillan said;

"I fully welcome this announcement from Amey that work is to be carried out on the A78 Inverkip Street through Greenock.

"I raised this issue with Amey back in 2007 as I felt the road needed resurfaced. Therefore, I welcome the common sense decision that has been taken to make the improvements to bring the trunk road back to two-way removing the need for the diversion.

"This announcement is good news for Inverclyde."
