Well, up until about three years ago, the bridge slightly north of it went nowhere too.

In fact, thanks to the colossal screwup that was the M8, and the general economic downturn of the 70s. There are a bunch of them all over, including actual motorway off-ramps.

[Tay House](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/53/22/3532279_22c320e7.jpg) was originally an unfinished [off-ramp](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D9v1x42XYAAMMuO?format=jpg&name=900x900) before they built on it.

[M8 Junction 20](http://m8motorway.tripod.com/Images/lores/516737/cnv00003.jpg), was originally going to connect to the M74. [Actually connected after they extended the M74 but not using the original off-ramps](https://www.google.com/maps/place/M8/@55.8517119,-4.2681908,294m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x48886e867875d743:0x509a63c3195307e!8m2!3d55.869722!4d-4.2666954).

I'm sure there's one I missed, but that's mostly it.
