A senior Glasgow councillor is calling on the Scottish Government to provide more funding to maintain the Clyde Tunnel — or tolls could be required. Cllr Ruairi Kelly, SNP, has written to the cabinet secretary for transport, Màiri McAllan, to highlight financial pressures on the city’s road network . Officials revealed that current investment in Glasgow ’s roads infrastructure falls short of what is needed to keep the current condition by £11.2 million.
The 60-year-old tunnel requires significant investment to address necessary repairs, with a recommended spending of £16m. The funding received for operation and maintenance is the same amount per kilometre as for a standard stretch of road, which isn’t sufficient for the specific requirements of the tunnel. This leads to an annual shortfall of around £820,000
