| Comment | There seems to be a persistent belief that it was to be a bridge for another road, but that's not true.
The platform that Tay House sits on at Charing Cross was always meant to have a building on it. It had a few different iterations in planning.
Here's an early concept image of a building connecting the Anderson Centre and the Charing Cross Complex on either side of the M8.
There was also discussion of a taller building if I remember correctly. Not necessarily a tower, but something like Tay House or maybe a little bigger, with a viewing platform and restaurant on the top floor. The idea being if offered a good view down the M8 canyon to the river and westward to the west end.
