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.

Famous quotes containing the word progress:
“We should be careful never to imagine, that the wedding-day is the burial of love, but that in reality love then begins its best life; and if we set out upon that principle, and are mindful to keep it up, and give due attention and aid to the progress of love thus brought into the well ordered well sheltered garden, we may enjoy I believe as much happiness as is consistent with the imperfection of our present state of being.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
“Innocence is lovely in the child, because in harmony with its nature; but our path in life is not backward but onward, and virtue can never be the offspring of mere innocence. If we are to progress in the knowledge of good, we must also progress in the knowledge of evil. Every experience of evil brings its own temptation and according to the degree in which the evil is recognized and the temptations resisted, will be the value of the character into which the individual will develop.”
—Mrs. H. O. Ward (1824–1899)
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
