Southern Extension
As part of the Forth Replacement Crossing scheme, the M90 will be extended by another 5.4 miles (8.7 km) south over a new cable-stayed bridge to Scotstoun Interchange and its junction with the A90.
It is also likely that, as part of the Forth Replacement Crossing scheme, the 4.2 miles (6.8 km) long M9 spur north of the expanded Junction 1a will be renamed as the M90, connecting the motorway to the rest of the UK motorway network over fifty years after the first section of M90 opened in 1964.

Famous quotes containing the words southern and/or extension:
“No: until I want the protection of Massachusetts to be extended to me in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, or until I am bent solely on building up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford to refuse allegiance to Massachusetts, and her right to my property and life. It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind; and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
