A702 road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The A702 is a major road in Scotland, that runs from Edinburgh to St. John's Town of Dalry in Dumfries and Galloway.
[edit] Route of Road
It starts as a primary route at Lothian Road in Edinburgh, and then meets the Edinburgh City Bypass (A720) on th city's outskirts. It continues in a south-westerly direction through the Pentland Hills to Biggar, before following the Clyde Valley. The road passes through the attractive villages off Coulter and Lamington, before meeting the A73 road at a new roundabout junction, and then shortly afterwards meets junction 13 of the M74. From Abington, it continues as a non-primary route, and multiplexes with the A76 road for 1½ miles until Thornhill. From Thornhill, the road winds south-west still, through the village of Moniaive, until eventually reaching St. John's Town of Dalry. Here, it terminates at its junction with the A713 road. The A702 from junction 13 of the M74 is the recommended route to Edinburgh, whereas the windier A7 road is signed as the Tourist Route to Edinburgh.
The stretch of the A702 between Abington and Edinburgh was formerly part of the Euroroute system, of route E32. The E32 also ran northwards out of Edinburgh along the A90/M90 as far as Perth.
