[[M73 motorway|The M73]] is a north-south link between the M74 and the M8 in the east of the city, allowing traffic to move between the two motorways which run east to west at that point. Construction began in 1969, with the M73 opening in 1972. In 2011, the M73 was extended north to link up with the M80 (as well as the A80), forming a motorway triangle to the north of the city. It is still a fairly short road, around {{convert|6.5|miles}} long. In 2015, as part of the 'M8 M73 M74 Motorway Improvement Project', additional lanes were added to the southern part of the M73, making the southern part of the route four to five lanes wide in both directions.
