A8(M) is a motorway in Glasgow, Scotland.
It was opened in 2016 after the Scottish Government proposed that the Baillieston Roundabout should be the motorway standard and that the A8 was not up to motorway standards.
Work on its construction started in early 2015 to upgrade the road. It is the shortest motorway in the United Kingdom. There is no signage of the A8(M) but signposted as the A8 link from the M73 and M8.[1]
It does however retain its motorway status.
