Busy road to close until further notice due to gas leak

A busy Glasgow road is set to close on Tuesday morning until further notice due to a gas leak.

Govan Road will be shut eastbound at Cressy Street by Scotland Gas Networks while engineers work to fix the issue.

The restriction will start at 9.30am on Tuesday April 16 and will be in place until the issue is resolved.

The Clyde Tunnel southbound off-slip to Govan Road will also be closed.

As a result, the company warned that delays are expected, especially during peak periods and drivers are advised to use an alternative route if possible.

Eastbound traffic on Govan Road will be diverted at Moss Road to travel westbound on Govan Road, southbound on Renfrew Road, eastbound on Shieldhall Road and northbound on Langlands Road to return to Govan Road.

Southbound Clyde Tunnel traffic will be diverted to the Langlands Road off-slip and then directed to Govan Road.
