After the demolition of the Ravenscraig Steel Works, a new road was built between Cleekhimin and Craigneuk. This is the section between the first and second roundabouts on this link road when travelling from the north. However, this will not always look like a country road. Over the next 20 years, there are plans to build here Scotland’s first new town in more than 50 years.
