MOTORISTS have been warned to expect delays when a major road is partly closed while work is carried out to tackle flooding.
Part of Glasgow's Queen Margaret Drive will be shut to vehicles from January 12 while engineers link two waste water mains.
The work, which will cost about £150,000 and is expected to take about six weeks to complete, is being carried out to reduce the risk of flooding at nine properties in the area.
It will involve the closure of a section of Queen Margaret Drive from its junction with Oban Drive to its junction with Fergus Drive.
Local diversions will be in place for the duration of the work.
Scottish Water said that steps would be taken to minimise any inconvenience to road-users and local customers and businesses.
Mark Maclaren, Scottish Water's regional communities team manager, said: "This important project will enable us to reduce the risk of flooding at these properties in the area and know that these residents will welcome our improvement work.
"We apologise in advance for any disruption and thank those affected for their patience and co-operation. We would stress that any short-term inconvenience will be far out-weighed by the long-term benefits this investment will deliver."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
