Glasgow Inner Ring Road

Stumbled across a site called pathetic motorways today, firstly my attention was pointed to the Renfrew by pass.  As I was brought up in this area I decided to have a read.

In more digging I came across the Glasgow Inner Ring Road.  I find this quite interesting as there has been many a times I have wondered what the off and on ramps sitting doing nothing on the M8 were for.  Turns out there was meant to be a motorway going round the city.

Now there would have been no need to cross the Kingston bridge to get to the other side of Glasgow, or even to the north or south of the UK.  The M74 is now meant to complete this loop of the city.  Joining on just south of the Kingston bridge.  This was touted as a 2008 completion, the fact they haven't even started means 2018 is more likely, or never.
