South Lanarkshire Council are urging Cambuslang residents to take advantage of the park and ride facility at the train station.
The new development has 256 parking spaces as well as electric vehicle charging points on a site next to Bridge Street which is in close proximity to the train station. The site allows for a more sustainable travel option.
The park and ride project was jointly funded by the council and Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.
Head of roads and transportation, Colin Park, told Lanarkshire Live : “As more and more COVID restrictions are easing across the country, we want as many people as possible to take advantage of this facility.
“We are committed to supporting sustainable transport and this site makes it easier than ever to switch from car to train in Cambuslang and the additional charging infrastructure will help with the drive to make electric vehicles a viable option for more road users.
“This was a derelict site which is now an asset to the area, improving parking in the centre of Cambuslang, supporting sustainable travel and adding to environmental improvements in Cambuslang.”
New traffic signals will be completed this week which will allow for improved pedestrian and cycle connections across Somervell Street and Main Street along with improving access to the park and ride facilities.
