Think you've misunderstood this.

This project would essentially be a city-block sized "cap", between the existing Charing Cross "cap", and Bath Street. The hump in the M8 caused by the railway underneath is further south, at Kent Road.

The £100m project valuation is simply for this single city block sized motroway roof. That's what the feasibility study was for.

No feasibility study has been undertaken on more ambitious options for covering or removing the M8, as [Replace the M8](https://twitter.com/ReplacetheM8) are campaigning for over on Twitter.

To realign the North Clyde railway line and the build a proper roof garden extending a couple blocks further down, maybe to St Vincent Street say... you'd be looking at billions of pounds easily.
