M74: Heading in the Wrong Direction
0.00 17 minutes The M74 northern extension is a five-mile, six-lane elevated urban motorway in Glasgow. The road became the costliest stretch of tarmac per mile in the whole of the UK upon completion, rising to £692m on completion in 2011. This film provides an important document of the important anti-roads struggle which contested it, and of the complete betrayal of the democratic process by the Scottish Government, which rejected the advice of an independent inquiry not to proceed.
