The right connections
Regeneration of the River Clyde and the wider economy relies fundamentally on our transport infrastructure, and on maintaining and improving rail, road and air networks.
Plans include new road and foot bridges to help link communities and ease traffic congestion. For example, the Clyde Arc, which opened in September 2006, is the first new bridge over the River Clyde since 1969, and is a crucial infrastructure component in the continued development of Clyde Waterfront.
Other proposals include the Clyde Fastlink - a tram-like bus system to serve the Clyde corridor from the SECC and a Crossrail project to link the south west of Scotland with the rest of the country.
By improving connectivity, we aim to lay the foundations of an effective transport network which will ensure the success of the Clyde Waterfront.
