Work is continuing on the £100 million Shieldhall Tunnel project in Glasgow.

The 3.1-mile-long waste water tunnel is being built in the south of the city as part of major waste water network upgrade project to improve water quality in the River Clyde and its tributaries and reduce flooding issues at key locations.

Scottish Water has now revealed a short stretch of Queen's Drive/Langside Road, which has been closed since May 2016 to allow works to be carried out, will now stay closed until September.

The company said: "The reason for the extension to the road closure is that the infrastructure Scottish Water is upgrading is more than 100 years old and, following the excavation of a shaft and a review of some existing infrastructure, some aspects of the planned work required additional design.

"Scottish Water apologises for any inconvenience to road users, residents and businesses affected by the extension to the road closure and thanks them for their patience and understanding."

The multi-million pound project recently passed the halfway stage and is on target for completion later this year.
