A busy Glasgow road is to close for around six weeks. 

High Street will be closed between its junctions with Duke Street and Rottenrow from January 9, 2023.

This is in order for Scottish Water to carry out sewer repair works after CCTV investigations revealed what looked like a void sewer pipe under High Street.

Local businesses will stay open and pedestrians will have access at all times.

"We know this is a busy part of the city and we will therefore do all we can to minimise disruption where possible.

“We would like to thank road users, local residents and businesses in advance for their patience and understanding while these essential works are being carried out.”
