In case anyone else has been losing track of all the construction projects going on just now… Glasgow City Council put out an Avenues Programme Progress Report (PDF) in April 2025. However, a few that were due to be complete by May 2025 are still going on. So, it seemed like a good time to revive GoBike’s Infrastructure Update and have a look…
The following is a snapshot of active travel works in and around the city centre during May/June 2025.
Most of these are part of the Avenues Project (or Avenues Plus). Not all projects include segregated cycle lanes, for example: Holland St and Sauchiehall Precinct (but the latter has removed raised platforms so there’s more space for cycling). The photos give an idea of how things are taking shape.

This ride heads west through Renfrewshire, but since it is newly open, we shall initially stick to the north side of the River Clyde in order to use the bridge at Yoker.
The new Yoker to Renfrew bridge opened to the public on Friday 9 May 2025.
The 184-metre, twin-leaf bridge has been built as part of the £1.3bn Glasgow City Region City Deal. It swings open to allow river traffic such as the PS Waverley to move freely along the River Clyde. The opening was also reported on the STV News and the BBC News
The bridge forms part of a newly opened 5km active travel route connecting Yoker and Clydebank to Pailsy town centre.
You can check when the bridge will be open to river traffic and therefore unavailable to pedestrians, cyclists and motor traffic on the dedicated webpage https://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/renfrew-bridge
