A warning has been issued to motorists by Network Rail ahead of temporary lane closures at a bridge in North Glasgow.
An investment of £1m to upgrade the bridge over the railway on Dalsholm Road near Kelvindale station will see works begin from Monday until November this year.
The bridge will be strengthened with masonry repairs while the replacement of missing stonework, vegetation clearance work and the installation of new fencing are all taking place.

To enable this work to be delivered safely, Network Rail says a single-lane road closure with four-way traffic light control will be in place for the entire three-month project.
This will impact traffic on Dalsholm Road, Cleveden Road, Skaethorn Road, and Temple Road but train services will be unaffected.

Stephen Orr, project manager, Network Rail, said: “We’ve worked with Glasgow City Council to plan and deliver the work required and have found a way to do this while avoiding the need to close the road completely.
“While we appreciate that disruption to the road network is never ideal, carrying out an extensive programme of repair and maintenance on the structure now will keep it operational for longer without any further significant interventions.
“We thank everyone for their patience and will carry out this work as quickly as possible.”
A temporary compound area will be located behind Maryhill station for the duration of the project.
The extensive programme of work will extend the structure’s lifespan and is expected to reduce the maintenance requirement in the future.
