We recently engaged with the community to help our consultant design the new road.
Since we showed you the initial route of the preferred option that we proposed, we have moved on to Stage 3.
Stage 3 has let us look more closely at things and we have been working to develop the new road.
We have taken onboard the feedback that you have already given us on the route of the road and we think we have a proposal that works better.
Update on what we have done and where we are
The things we are proposing to do differently mean:
- there is less impact on the environment
- the new road connects better with the current local roads, meaning more local people will benefit from it
Recent engagement
We would like to thank those of you who recently commented and told us what thought about our proposals.
We will soon give an update on what you have told us.

More about Stage 3 and our consultant
Our chosen consultants, AtkinsRealis, are helping us to undertake the next phase of design and prepare a planning application.
As part of this work, they are reviewing the proposed line of the route of the preferred option.
During this stage, there will more opportunities for consultation and engagement with key groups including landowners and residents.
This will let us have more detailed discussions with those who have an interest in the project especially as the design is developed and we better understand the exact route of the link road.
As part of the design process, the consultants will also be carrying out surveys that will be needed to develop the design and to inform the planning application, such as:
- environmental surveys
- ecological surveys
- additional ground investigation work
Further information and correspondence will be issued to all affected landowners.
Other information
The Outline Business Case (OBC) was approved at Glasgow City Region Cabinet on 6 August 2024.
Approval of the OBC has secured the next portion of funding to let us move to Full Business Case (FBC) and allow for the link road to be constructed. We expect to submit the FBC in summer 2027.
The road should be finished during 2030, but we will continue to review this and change dates as the project moves forward, if needed.
