The last section of this route, between the bridge across the North Calder Water and Eurocentral, is going to be upgraded by North Lanarkshire Council as it completes its Airdrie to Eurocentral cycle path. So some of the turns and directions may change depending on the exact route of the new path. Hopefully it will be obvious where the new route goes once it is built. However, at the time of writing, the section beween the North Calder Water and Eurocentral is shut due to Transport Scotland's motorway building programme, with no signed diversion. This section is due to reopen in September 2016.
