Parkhead North railway station
Parkhead was a railway station in the east end of Glasgow. It was opened as Parkhead, by the North British Railway on 1 February 1871. It was renamed Parkhead North on 30 June 1952 by British Railways. This was to differentiate it from the nearby ex-Caledonian Railway Parkhead station on the former Glasgow Central Railway. The station was closed to passengers on 19 September 1955.

Glasgow Inner Ring Road
The Glasgow Inner Ring Road is a partially completed ring road encircling the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland. Its construction began in 1965, and half of its length was completed by 1972, forming part of the M8 motorway, but no further construction was made and the remaining plans were formally abandoned in 1980.
After 30 years, a route following roughly the southern section of the proposals was created as the new M74.

A728 road
The A728 is a route number in Glasgow, Scotland applied to two connected roads.
The eastern branch, known as the Glasgow East End Regeneration Route runs from Polmadie to the Forge Shopping Centre in Camlachie in the east of the city. The first phase was opened in 2011 with the second phase opened in mid-2012; these two phases are officially known as the A728 Clyde Gateway. An extension to junction 13 of the M8, which is also the terminus of the M80, was planned as well, for construction in 2018. After delay, it was scrapped in 2021 due to climate concerns.
The western branch of the route runs from the Albert Bridge near the city centre, where it meets the A8 and A74, and converges with the other branch near Toryglen Park in Polmadie. Both branches continue along the same road south towards King's Park.
