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:
“[O]ur people are steadily increasing their spending for higher standards of living ... the slogan of progress is changing from the full dinner pail to the full garage.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“In fast-moving, progress-conscious America, the consumer expects to be dizzied by progress. If he could completely understand advertising jargon he would be badly disappointed. The half-intelligibility which we expect, or even hope, to find in the latest product language personally reassures each of us that progress is being made: that the pace exceeds our ability to follow.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“A party of order or stability, and a party of progress or reform, are both necessary elements of a healthy state of political life.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
