Northbound A74(M), South Lanarkshire

The A74(M) and M74 form a major motorway which runs for over 80 miles in Scotland. Following an extension opened on 28 June 2011, it connects the M8 motorway west of Glasgow to the English border at Gretna,where it becomes the M6. In conjunction with the M6, it forms one of the two major cross-border routes between Scotland and England. As the motorway is one continuous route and has a continuous junction numbering system, the entire route is often erroneously referred to as M74 although, the section south of Abington (more than half its length) is officially the A74(M).

An old alignment of the A74

Now grassed over this was the single carriageway road replaced by a dual carriageway bypass of Crawford. The current motorway is slightly further again to the west.

Former A74

This was the dual carriageway A74, replaced now by the motorway and divided from it by a wood growing on what was the northbound carriageway.

Taken from a bridge on versions 1 and 2 of the A74 and looking to the A74(M) bridge. The old dual carriageway is now single with the northbound carriageway buried. Much of the redundant carriageway is wooded. The trees on Wellshot Hill in the background were planted in the 1980s.
