Transport Scotland is developing proposals to upgrade the A80 Glasgow to Stirling Trunk Road between Stepps and Haggs to motorway standard in accordance with the announcement made by Scottish Ministers in 2003. The scheme will tie-in with the Auchenkilns Junction Improvement Scheme, which lies approximately mid-way between Stepps and Haggs. The Auchenkilns Junction Scheme opened to traffic in December 2005.
