just south of the River Clyde – northwards from this junction (Albert Bridge leading to Saltmarket) is considered to be the A8. Known as Laurieston Road at this point, it briefly joins the A730 as they pass the ruined Caledonia Road Church on either side, then continues south as Cathcart Road while the A730 turns eastwards. It crosses over the M74 motorway without linking to it, as well as over the West Coast Main Line railway, then turns southeast as Aikenhead Road, passing the east side of the Govanhill district. After crossing the B763 (Calder Street, leading on to Junction 1A of the M74) at Polmadie, it passes close to Holyrood Secondary School, Cathkin Park, Toryglen Regional Football Centre and Hampden Park, terminating at the east/west-running King's Park Avenue (B766, changing to the B762 from this point eastwards). The north/south road continues under the Cathcart Circle Line railway bridge and onwards, mostly uphill, to Simshill, Castlemilk and Carmunnock as the B766. After the completion of both the GEERR and the M74, the stretch of Polmadie Road – between the 'old' A728 and the M74 Junction 1A, for which it is the on/off slip feeder road – subsequently took the A728 designation as well (according to motorway gantry signage and Google Maps as of 2021, whereas local signs still indicate it as being the B763); this had previously been blocked off from Aikenhead Road until construction on the motorway began and a junction was created as a new access route, particularly for Hampden Park traffic. Irrespective of whether Polmadie Road is officially the A728, technically the GEERR does not connect to the motorway under that name, instead this ends at Shawfield Stadium, with the section of new road between the stadium and Hutchesontown (skirting around the reconstructed Oatlands neighbourhood with the motorway junction halfway along) labelled as part of the A730, which in the other direction continues south-eastwards to Rutherglen. Public transport The '75' bus service, one of the primary routes by the major operator in the region, First Glasgow, runs along the entire length of the 'old' A728 in both directions from the point of passing Caledonia Road Church (coincidentally also the location of the company's headquarters and depot since 2014).
