Glasgow M74 Link
Glasgow has a prime collection of unfinished motorways. Maybe it would be better not to have any at all, but they exist: the incomplete M8, the incomplete M80, the incomplete M74.
The government have decided to go ahead with a controversial scheme to complete the M74, at the cost of about 500 million pounds, and opinions for and against are, of course, diametrically opposed.
I am not sure what to think. Normally I am against building motorways in cities and would prefer money to be spent on public transport, but given that most of the system is already there, wouldn’t it be better to complete it?
It’s a big project trying to turn Los Angeles into Amsterdam.
