Kyle Street northbound to close for four days from Monday 16 November

The northbound carriageway of Kyle Street in Glasgow city centre will be closed from 9am on Monday 16 November until 5pm on Thursday 19 November 2026.

The closure, between Dobbie's Loan and Baird Street, is to allow cycle lane surfacing as part of the Kyle Street and North Hanover Street Avenue project, the Glasgow Times reports.

What is the diversion route?

Signed diversions will direct traffic via Dobbie's Loan, Kennedy Street, Lister Street, Baird Street and back onto Kyle Street. Access to businesses on the street will be maintained throughout the works.

Why is Kyle Street being closed?

The closure is needed to surface the new cycle lane. It is part of the Kyle Street and North Hanover Street Avenue project, one of Glasgow City Council's Avenues schemes.

The council plans to lay Caithness flagstone paving and wide-top granite kerbs, create rain gardens and resurface the carriageway. It says the project will "enhance the public realm here making the area more attractive, economically attractive and people friendly".

Who is affected?

Drivers heading north out of the city centre towards Baird Street, Townhead and the M8 at junction 15 are most likely to be affected. Kyle Street sits close to Buchanan Bus Station and Glasgow Caledonian University, so drivers in that area should allow extra time.

What happens next?

The northbound carriageway is due to reopen at 5pm on Thursday 19 November. Other road closures in the city centre this month include George Square North, which is shut from 2pm on Wednesday 11 November to 6pm on Friday 13 November for the Christmas Village build, according to the Glasgow Times.
