We have a consultant to help us design the new road.
We have now moved to Stage 3 of the project and chosen consultants, AtkinsRealis, to undertake the next phase of design and prepare a planning application.
As part of this work, the consultants will review the proposed line of the route of the preferred option.
During this stage, there will be 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) will be submitted for consideration at Glasgow City Region Cabinet on 6 August 2024.
Approval of the OBC will secure 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.
