.

Route

Glasgow

The A730 starts at Gorbals Cross in the

M74 motorway
which opened in 2011.

Rutherglen

After a junction at

underpass,[5][6] it continues south as Mill Street, a bypass through the burgh that commenced in the 1970s and continued in the early 1990s – remnants of the older streets it replaced are still visible on either side.[7]

A pedestrian overbridge is followed by a fairly steep incline as the road passes Overtoun Park (average speed cameras have been installed on this section),[8] shortly before it meets the B762 King's Park Avenue at Rutherglen Cemetery.

After passing under the

Cathkin, passes to the south of Springhall and terminates where it meets the A749 at a roundabout to the south of Whitlawburn
.

Public transport

The '267' bus service, one of the primary routes by the major operator in the region, First Glasgow, runs along the length of the A730 within the city, turning east on the B768 Rutherglen Main Street (within South Lanarkshire it mainly follows the A724).[13] The less frequent '21' uses almost the entire A730 route, other than still going into Fernhill rather than using the new bypass.[14] In the first half of the 20th century, Glasgow Corporation Tramways also operated on part of the route, specifically the 10 which had its terminus at Rutherglen.[15]
