A warning has been issued as part of a busy Glasgow city centre road will be closed this weekend.

Glasgow City Council says Pitt Street (southbound only) will be shut between Bothwell Street and St Vincent Street from 8am on Saturday, August 17 until 5pm on Sunday, August 18.

On top of that, an off-side lane closure will be in place on a 100-metre section of Bothwell Street at its junction with Pitt Street.

Pitt Street will be closed to allow the installation of traffic signals and associated infrastructure.

The local authority says the work on the street forms part of the Glasgow City Region City Deal 'Avenues' programme.

The project is aiming to transform the city centre's streetscape and public realm.

A diversion will be in place for drivers.
