Glasgow only managed to get half - at most - of it's planned Inner Ring Road built, that of course being the IRR's north & western flanks carrying the present-day M8 between Townhead and 'The Plantation' at Kinning Park (16 lanes of traffic as the M8, M74 & M77 converge/diverge there; the second-widest stretch of motorway in the UK IIRC).
In particular, the section driven through Charing Cross and Anderston approaching the Kingston Bridge and the effects it had on those communities in the years following played a substantial role in stopping the rest of the planned Inner Ring Road and other planned new road projects (notably the Maryhill Motorway) from being built. As per the original plans, the eastern flank would've been driven right through Glasgow Cross and it's junction/slip-roads with the southern flank would've been built on top of the western end of Glasgow Green - think the Clydeside Expressway cutting through Victoria Park writ-large - to say nothing of the damage the southern flank itself would've done to the fabric of the South Side. The rest of the Inner Ring Road project was 'shelved' in the early 80s after a series of revisions starting in 1973.
