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 think those Southern writers [William Faulkner, Carson McCullers] have analyzed very carefully the buildup in the South of a special consciousness brought about by the self- condemnation resulting from slavery, the humiliation following the War Between the States and the hope, sometimes expressed timidly, for redemption.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“‘Tis the perception of the beautiful,
A fine extension of the faculties,
Platonic, universal, wonderful,
Drawn from the stars, and filtered through the skies,
Without which life would be extremely dull.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
