1990s, now terminated at the Provan Gas Works interchange, whilst the Parkhead bypass, constructed in 1988 as part of the Parkhead Forge shopping development, was effectively the first section of the EERR. From Parkhead, the road would cut northward, through Hogarth Park, a former railway embankment now used as public open space. The new road would run between Haghill and Carntyne, under Edinburgh Road and Cumbernauld Road continuing along the old Caledonian Railway "Switchback" line to the M8/M80 junction at Provan. A planning application was submitted for the southern section of the EERR, named the Clyde Gateway, in October 2005, but the winning of Host City for the 2014 Commonwealth Games provided the necessary impetus. Phase 1, from junction 1A of the now-completed M74 extension Polmadie Road to Shawfield opened in April 2007 as part of the Oatlands development. Phase 2 was completed in April 2012 and designated as the A728. It passes Shawfield Stadium, over the River Clyde at Rutherglen Bridge and past Dalmarnock railway station (where it meets the A749), before linking up with the Parkhead bypass (A74) and the new stadia district (Celtic Park and the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome), joining the existing road network at the Forge Retail Park. 2016 - present: Clyde Gateway Phase 3 Construction of phase 3, linking north from the A89 Parkhead Bypass to the M8 at Provan along a disused railway line, was planned to commence after the 2014 Commonwealth Games. In January 2016, Glasgow City Council approved the construction of this phase with works then expected to start in 2018 and to be complete in 2021, at an estimated cost of £60 million. As of 2020, the plan was reported to have been quietly forgotten in 2019 as funding was unlikely to be made available. It was confirmed subsequently that the project was still under consideration, with a motion to cancel it officially on environmental grounds being rejected by the council in June 2021. In October 2021, the route was formally cancelled. Western branch The creation of the Glasgow East End Regeneration Route led to it being designated as the A728; however there was already a major road in Glasgow, located nearby but entirely separate, with this designation. The 'old' A728 is a suburban route of length which runs southwards from the Gorbals district starting at a junction with the A74 road (Ballater Street) at the City of Glasgow College
