ROADS which have been shut to motorists for nearly a month during COP26 will begin re-opening tomorrow.
The road between Minerva Street and West Greenhill Place will re-open from 6am this Saturday, but the more major Glasgow roads which have caused significant travel disruption will remain closed until Monday.
COP26 has caused a headache for many Glasgow motorists over the last few weeks. The Clyde Expressway has been shut for nearly three weeks and drivers have faced major diversions, some as long as five miles.
Monday will see the Clyde Expressway and M8 junction 19 at Anderston back open for public use. The three mile stretch of dual carriageway which usually has thousands of vehicles pass through every day will help ease congestion on the M8.

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
