Roads reopen after firefighters tackle midnight blaze in city centre tunnel

Disruption: Both roads reopened just before 2am.

Two major roads in Glasgow have reopened after a building fire in a city centre tunnel.

Twenty firefighters were called to a blaze in a tunnel in the city’s Springfield Court shortly before midnight on Tuesday.

While crews dealt with the incident, Argyle Street was closed between Union Street and Queen Street.

Access was also blocked to Queen Street between Argyle Street and Ingram Street.

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus took just over an hour to extinguish the fire and both roads were reopened by police at 2am.

Crews carried out a complete search of the tunnel but there were no reports of any injuries.
