Motorway on ramp
Picture taken from the corner of Cook Street and West Street looking west. The ramp leads on to the M8 Kingston bridge. The road on the left leads on to the M8 west. The unfinished "Ski jumps" to the right were planned to link with the M74 extension when built in the 70's however the M74 will join to the M8 west with construction in progress out of picture on the left. 9th April 2010 4.40pm.

The "Ski Jump" or the "Road to Nowhere", Glasgow
An incomplete part of the Glasgow Inner Ring Road. Anyone looking at a map of Glasgow City Centre will see that the M8 boxes in the city on the west and north sides. This "box" was to be completed by a Ring Road on the east and south sides, but work on the ring road was abandoned in 1972, leaving several roads and bridges to nowhere around the city. This one in Kingston in the South Side was to connect up to the M74, which currently termninates at Carmyle. In 2008 work started on the extension of the M74, but it will now meet the M8 just south of this point. A proposal has been made for a bypass in the East End of the city, which will connect the M8 and M74 via Parkhead and to some extent complete the abandoned Inner City Ring Road.

Breakdown truck village
These recovery trucks are parked on an incomplete spur of the Kingston Bridge in readiness for clearing any breakdowns that might occur during the roadworks.
The spur was built at the same time as the bridge (early 1970s) and will lead to the M74 which is currently under construction in the south side of Glasgow.
The site being cleared in the foreground is between Scotland Street and West Street.

Unused motorway ramps
These ramps were built along with the M8 and Kingston Bridge in the early 1970s as a future link to the planned Inner Ring Road. Almost 40 years on and the M74 is finally under construction, but will not use these ramps.
