POLICE closed three Glasgow roads after high winds tore part of the roof off a city building leaving it in a dangerous condition.
The streets surrounding around the City of Glasgow Riverside Campus building in the Gorbals were shut after it was damaged in storms at around 7.10pm.
Albert Bridge, also known as Crown Street, is now closed between Clyde Street on one side of the river and Ballater Street on the other.
The A74 Ballater Street is shut between Crown Street and Gorbals Street.
And Thistle Street, off the A74, is closed completely.
Police say the closures will remain in place until after Tuesday morning rush hour.
Inspector Linda Allan said no one was injured but it is feared there could be more damage overnight.
She said: "The City of Glasgow College staff reported that part of the roof had blown off.
"Given the weather conditions, the decision was taken to close the roads in the immediate vicinity.
"No one has been injured."
A Glasgow City Council traffic bulletin said the building was in a “dangerous” condition.
