Clyde Gateway has announced major upgrades are to get underway later this month in Dalmarnock.

The £1m worth of works on Carstairs Street are part of a wider Key Routes and Spaces project across the area.

The project will see enhancements to the existing road, footway and lighting infrastructure together with environmental improvements including a new sustainable urban drainage scheme.

The scheme is being funded by Clyde Gateway and delivered by Glasgow City Council.

Jim Clark, the Senior Manager for Communications at Clyde Gateway, said: "This is a very important part of our wider regeneration plans for South Dalmarnock.  

"We have already spent £1.4 million on improvements at French Street and Reid Street which we believe were a major factor in helping attract Police Scotland to the area along with 1100 jobs.

"The improvements to Carstairs Street will provide a high-quality direct link between Dalmarnock Station, the River Clyde and across the new pedestrian bridge to Shawfield where there is an eleven hectare site ready for immediate development and we are delighted Glasgow City Council will be undertaking the project on our behalf."

Work is intended to be completed by the end of November 2015.
