We previously reported that work was to commence on the £5.8m project to transform Argyle Street, which is part of the same initiative, and that this will run until October 2025.
We also reported that the council revealed the £5.7m revamp of Sauchiehall Street, which was due to be completed in late summer, will now be finished by November or December.
The local authority said the reason for the delay is due to the discovery of issues with 'underground utilities leading to elements of the design being amended'.
