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:
“I walked on the banks of the tincan banana dock and sat down under the huge shade of a Southern Pacific locomotive to look at the sunset over the box house hills and cry.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
“Slavery is founded on the selfishness of man’s nature—opposition to it on his love of justice. These principles are in eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
