Parliamentary Road

Parliamentary Road

Parliamentary Road was a major street in the Cowcaddens area of the city of Glasgow, Scotland.

The road was the original north eastern continuation of Sauchiehall Street, crossing the railway tracks of Queen Street Station and on into the Townhead area of the East End. However the construction of Buchanan Street Bus Station in the late 1970s saw a complete rearrangement of the roads in the area. The eastern section of the road was realigned in an approximate east-west axis between North Hanover Street and West Nile Street and was renamed as Killermont Street, whilst the western section was closed completely.

The final remains of Parliamentary Road were removed in the 1990s when the construction of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall over the western end of the road took place. The bridge over the Queen Street railway tracks was removed in 1997 during the construction of the Buchanan Galleries shopping mall.
