Street revamps under the Avenues programme have also been delayed due to rising costs in the construction sector in recent years.
Plans to refurbish the ‘Smartie Tube’ tunnel over the Clydeside Expressway and redesign an M8 junction at Anderston are among City Deal projects being postponed in Glasgow.
There had been plans to provide a grant to the SEC for the refurbishment of “the tunnelled part of the ‘Smartie Tube’ and to redesign junction 19 of the M8. Overall, Glasgow City Council has an almost £386m infrastructure investment programme under the Glasgow City Region City Deal, a £1bn scheme funded by the UK and Scottish Governments.
Council leader Susan Aitken, SNP, said: “Unfortunately the progress that has been made to date is now being achieved at a higher cost than was originally anticipated. But a council spokeswoman previously said inflation and global supply chain issues have caused “higher costs than originally anticipated” preventing other work from being completed within the original budget.
