Progress
A planning application was submitted in October 2005, but the 'winning' of being Host City for the 2014 Commonwealth Games has provided the necessary impetus. Phase 1, from Polmadie Road to Shawfield Stadium opened in April 2007 as part of the Oatlands development and was named New Rutherglen Road.
Phase 2 opened in April 2012. The route crosses the River Clyde at Rutherglen Bridge, passes Dalmarnock railway station and the new stadia district, joining the existing road network at the Forge Retail Park.
A future phase 3, linking north from Parkhead Bypass to the M8 at Provan along a disused railway line has still to commence construction, with the intention is to procure it after the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
