Where is it?

Renfrew, west of Glasgow

Can you show me that on the map?

Certainly!

What makes this a pathetic motorway?

Well, it's now just part of the M8, between junction 26 and not far short of junction 30, where it formed a junction with the A8, evidence of which can be seen on the ground today, as long as you know where to look!

When did it become part of the M8?

In 1970, when the first part of the Bishopton bypass (including the M898) to the west was completed.

Thanks to Jonathan Cossham, you can see a decent quality map as shown here.

Can I see some photographs now?

Of course!

Can I comment on this motorway?

Of course! Contact me and I'll put them here!

Have any other visitors commented?

Not yet, they haven't.
