A key road into one of north Glasgow's busiest shopping destinations has been closed, with delays expected for drivers and shoppers.
St Rollox Brae, which leads to the St Rollox Business and Retail Park, was closed on Wednesday, November 4, at its junction with Springburn Road.
The closure allows service connection works to be carried out for a new retail development in the area.
How to get to the retail park
A spokesman for Traffcom, Glasgow City Council's traffic control centre, said: "St Rollox Brae is completely closed to all traffic at Springburn Road due to service connection works to new retail development."
"All traffic visiting the St Rollox Business and Retail Park must enter/exit via the Petershill Road junction at Turner Road."
Congestion expected
The retail park attracts thousands of visitors each week, and congestion is expected on surrounding roads as drivers adjust to the diversion. Motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
Springburn Road is one of the main routes between the city centre and the north of Glasgow, carrying buses and commuter traffic as well as shoppers, so delays at peak times are likely.
When will it reopen?
Traffcom said: "It is hoped the works will be complete by this weekend."
