The M74 extension will stretch five miles across south east Glasgow
|
Campaigners fighting the extension of the M74 motorway in Glasgow have staged a sponsored race along the route of the planned link.
Joint Action Against the M74 (Jam74) were raising funds for a legal appeal against the motorway plan.
A Jam74 spokesman said teams used different forms of transport, including walking, cycling and sailing.
The Scottish Executive announced last year that it was going ahead with the �500m five-mile extension.
The route is planned to link the existing M74 to the Kingston Bridge.
Ministers are pushing ahead with the extension against the recommendation of a public inquiry.
The executive insists the scheme will ease congestion, improve the competitiveness of the west of Scotland, and could create jobs.
