The Scottish Executive plans to build a 6-lane elevated motorway through the southern suburbs of Glasgow. The M74 Northern Extension, at £375-500 million the most expensive transport project in Scotland, would be raised on 40 feet concrete stilts for parts of its journey from Carmyle in the east to Kingston in the city centre.
JAM74, a coalition of community, environmental and sustainable transport groups, believes this 1960s-style road planning will cause pollution, health problems, community breakdown and won't free up traffic or bring the jobs that are promised.
JAM74 is calling for a halt to the road plans and for a comprehensive study of all transport options for the area. There has yet to be any independent research on alternative transport options or the effects of the motorway on communities and the environment.
