Here are all the COP26 cycle lane changes, pulled together by Glasgow cycle group GoBike:
ROUTES BETWEEN SOUTH AND WEST
The NCN 75/7 traffic free route beside the Clyde will be closed between the Clyde Arc (Squinty Bridge) and Castlebank Street.
Finnieston Street north of the Squinty Bridge will be closed for cycling, but pavements will be open for walking.
The most direct route for cycling will be via Clyde Street – North Street (NCN 756) – Elliott Street.
WEST ROUTES
As well as the NCN 75/7 closure, cycling and walking paths that follow the north side of the Clydeside Expressway are expected to close for most of the duration of the conference.
This affects the path between Castlebank Street, Ferry Road and Kelvinhaugh Street.
Clydeside Expressway flyovers will also close.
The diversion suggested by Get Ready Glasgow follows: Beith Street – Benalder Street – Old Dumbarton Road – Yorkhill Street – Kelvinhaugh Street – Argyle Street – Corunna Street – St Vincent Crescent – Minerva Street – West Greenhill Place (west bound) – path to Finnieston Street (east bound)
A large section of Argyle Street will be closed to all vehicles (including cyclists) for COP26 events on November 1, 5 and 6.
This excludes the small Kelvinhaugh Street to Corunna Street section that is included in the cycling diversion route.
The diversion as above via Old Dumbarton Road/Yorkhill Street should be used on these days.
ROUTES BETWEEN EAST AND WEST
The Bridge to Nowhere flyovers are expected to close for some of the duration of the conference.
This cuts the West City Way and the NCN 765 route in half at the M8.
Glasgow City Council is diverting those usually using the Waterloo Street protected lane to the following streets:
Blythswood Street – Argyle Street – Anderston Crossing – path to Finnieston Street.
