M74 Northern Extension
The mostly elevated five mile long route runs from Tollcross in the east to the Kingston Bridge in the west, passing through the south-eastern suburbs of Dalmarnock, Polmadie, Rutherglen and Govanhill before skirting The Gorbals. The 750 metre bridge over the three railway lines at Port Eglinton will be on a similar scale to the nearby Kingston Bridge over the River Clyde.
Much of the route is over derelict and contaminated industrial land and £12M of the £444M cost of the road will be spent in making disused mine workings safe.
The East End Regeneration Route road is also under construction and will link the new M74 to the M8 at the M80 junction in the north of the city. This will consist of upgrades to existing roads and also some new build roads.
Here is a Link to the official Transport Scotland website which gives details of the road and its construction.
