B760 (Tollcross)

This article is about the original B760 north of Cambuslang.
For the later, also defunct B760 west of Cambuslang, see B760 (Silverbank).

The B760 is one of Greater Glasgow's many de-classified routes.

Causewayside Street

The route started on Cambuslang High Street (then the A74, now A724) and ran north along Bridge Street. Its bridge over the Clyde, Cambuslang Bridge, is now sadly dilapidated and the road is haphazardly blocked off using concrete slabs. There's an adjacent, ex-railway bridge for pedestrians - modern-day road traffic uses the A763 Clydeford Road Bridge upstream. Cambuslang Road (despite the fact it doesn't get to Cambuslang any more) is more or less on its original line through what was countryside when the B760 ran along it, but is now a modern-looking industrial estate. The route then followed Fullarton Road which has been straightened and dualled more recently and now meets the M74 at junction 2A, which was the motorway's temporary terminus for many years. A little further on the B760 met London Road, which was the A732 but is now the A74. At the time Fullarton Road crossed directly into Causewayside Street for the final section up to Tollcross Road (formerly A721 but now unclassified). Tollcross was still a town in its own right at the time of classification, before urban Glasgow swallowed it up.

It was the importance of this route that led to its early renumbering as the A763. When Cambuslang Bridge became unusable that road took a new route over the new Clydeford Road bridge and now only the smallest stub of the A763 (back in Cambuslang) lies on the original B760 line.

The 1922 MOT Road List defines this route as: Glasgow (Tollcross) - Cambuslang
