A new round of road closures is planned to complete a section of the city centre avenues project.
What is expected to be the final round of restrictions to finish work in streets around Sauchiehall Street will take place next month.
The end is in sight for residents and businesses in part of the city centre as long-running work nears completion and some of the streets will be re-opened permanently.
The Avenues Project for the west end of the Sauchiehall pedestrian precinct and surrounding streets is coming to an end and should be open to pedestrians and traffic by Christmas.

Between Monday, November 4 and Monday, November 24 there will be three phases of work which means roads closed.
For a week between November 4 to November 11 Cambridge Street will be closed between Cowcaddens Road and Hill Street.
Hill Street will be shut at the junction with Cambridge Street and will be two-way traffic between Cambridge Street and Rose Street.
Rose Street will reverse the existing traffic flow and be one way traffic from Renfrew Street to Hill Street.
Hilton Access Road and Hill Street (East) will be one way traffic from Renfrew Street to Cambridge Street.
The work will transform the streetscape and create priority space for pedestrians and cyclists ahead of private cars.
For the following week November 11 to November 18 Cambridge Street will be closed from Hill Street to Renfrew Street.

During the works some streets and junctions will be re-opened permanently.
Hill Street will re-open at the junction with Cambridge Street and revert to one-way from Cambridge Street permanently.
Cambridge Street will re-open northbound Between Hill Street and Cowcaddens Road.
Work will switch to other parts of the city center early next year around Argyle street and George Square.
The overall city centre Avenues project will last another four years.
Council Leader, Susan Aitken, said while many streets will be building sites it will be worth it for the benefits to people and the investment opportunities it will unlock.
From November 18 to 25 Renfrew Street is to be closed from Rose Street to Cambridge Street.
From November 25 Cambridge Street between Renfrew Street and Cowcaddens Road, Hill Street and Hilton Access Road will all revert to two-way traffic permanently.
Rose Street will be one-way from Hill Street to Renfrew Street.
A traffic management system incorporating signed diversion routes will be in operation for the duration of the closures.
The council said any businesses that would normally service during the above times are requested to make alternative arrangements where possible.
