Pop-Up Cycle Lanes Set for Provanmill Road

Following the introduction of pop-up cycle lanes on Cumbernauld Road, the north-east of the city is set to further expand its active travel provision with additional lanes set for Provanmill Road.

The temporary lanes will be created as part of our Spaces for People programme which is providing additional space for physical distancing to protect public health and suppress a resurgence of COVID-19.

The pop-up lanes which will stretch between Cumbernauld Road and Royston Road, will run along both sides of the carriageway and will benefit from soft segregation.

These temporary measures, brought about by converting existing advisory cycle lanes into mandatory provision, aims to increase the practicality and attractiveness of active travel for both leisure and commuting.

Supported by £3.5m funding from the Scottish Government and administered by Sustrans Scotland, Spaces for People will see temporary infrastructure measures introduced across Glasgow to provide extra space for people to walk, wheel or cycle as COVID-19 restrictions remain in place.

All current access along the route, both public and private (including parking laybys and access to private driveways) shall be maintained, with work due for completion by 20 August 2020.
