Parts of two Glasgow roads are closed for over two weeks due to works.

Engineers from SP Energy Networks are carrying out works on Victoria Road and Maxwell Road in the Southside which will see traffic management in place on the route until June 14.

Traffic management is in place on Victoria Road and Maxwell Road, with Victoria Road closed at Eglinton Toll during the works. 

The improvements include upgrading cables and substations to support the uptake of electric cars, buses and digital services in Glasgow.

This initiative will also ensure a more resilient power supply for residents and businesses across the city.

SP has confirmed that there will be no planned interruption to electricity supplies during the delivery of this work.

If any residents or businesses do experience a power cut then they should contact the national emergency electrical helpline, 105.

Albert Santandreu, Head of Delivery, Glasgow District at SP Energy Networks, said: “The uprating of cabling and substations in the Southside is essential to ensure we continue to provide a resilient and reliant electricity network for our customers in the area.

"Completing these upgrades now will help support the uptake of low-emission transport and infrastructure for digital services across the city.

“We will have traffic management in place for the duration of the works which will hopefully help keep disruption to a minimum, nonetheless, we would like apologise to anyone inconvenienced by this work and thank everyone for their patience as we carry out these essential works.”
