Two motorways meet beside Uddingston: the M74 runs along the Clyde valley and the M73 leaves it at the Maryville interchange to head north. That position has drawn housing, business units and distribution uses to the land around the village, and it also means motorway maintenance and slip road works are never far away.
The village itself is compact, with a busy Main Street, a rail line through the centre and a long-established bakery and confectionery works among its employers. Sweeping here tends to be for housing plots being developed on former industrial or estate ground, for commercial yards towards Tannochside and Bothwell Park, and for utility and surfacing gangs working on Glasgow Road and the A721 towards Bellshill.
Where operators cover around Uddingston
The same enquiry covers Bothwell, Viewpark, Tannochside, Birkenshaw and Bellshill, along with Broomhouse and Calderpark on the Glasgow side and Blantyre across the river. With the motorway on the doorstep, travel is rarely the difficulty; the question is simply whether a vehicle is free for the hours you want.
