	M8 motorway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		South of the river the M8 intersects with the M77 and continues west, passing Renfrew, Paisley and Glasgow Airport terminating at West Ferry to the east of Langbank at the junction with the A8 Greenock Road across the Clyde from Dumbarton.
		The task of upgrading this section to motorway standard has long been a thorny issue for the Scottish Executive, but on 20th December 2005 they finally announced proposals for the "missing link" to be filled in, with the upgrade to full motorway standard between Baillieston and Newhouse being completed by 2011.
		Regarded as one of the most poorly-designed motorways in the UK, rivalled only by London's infamous M25, the Central Glasgow section of the M8 is notorious for bottlenecks and delays between the M8's eastern and western sections.

		In the most embarrassing case, a $300 million plan to widen London's orbital M25 motorway - already the country's busiest - from eight to 14 lanes was scrapped in March when it dawned on the Conservative government that local voters would make them pay at the forthcoming council elections.
		Their complaints were familiar - they argued that the new roads were damaging the environment, and that furze and heather were being cut for road repairs which were being upgraded only for the benefit of the rich in their wheeled carriages, rather than the poor who travelled on foot or by horse.
		Protesters who break the law in disrupting the building of motorways have the support of 62 per cent, and 25 per cent believe that there are times when protesters are justified in stopping traffic.

		The A77 trunk road is the primary route linking Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway to the M77 Motorway in East Renfrewshire, although this motorway will be extended to Fenwick in East Ayrshire by late summer 2005.

		It became apparent during the radio stations’ investigations that, while tracking the main accident hot spots, these tragedies were in the majority on the South section of the A77 between Ayr and Stranraer.

	Rampant Scotland Newsletter - 30 April 2005
		Motorists on the A77 road who have been slowed down by the roadworks involved in creating the M77 motorway (see next item) have at least been able to console themselves with the thought that at the end of the construction work there will be a faster, safer road to drive along.
		The £132 million M77 Fenwick to Malletsheugh extension of 15.2 km (9.4 miles) to the Glasgow to Ayrshire motorway plus the 5.7 miles long Glasgow Southern Orbital (GSO) route between the M77 and East Kilbride, were officially opened this week by First Minister Jack McConnell.
		The new motorway replaces an existing stretch of the A77 - a notorious accident flspot - and diverts traffic away from Busby, Eaglesham and the surrounding communities, significantly cutting journey times from Glasgow to Ayrshire and beyond.
