Glasgow drivers are facing six weeks of traffic chaos with the closure of a busy southside road in February.
Scottish Water are warning road users in the south west of the city of the key road closure during pipe installation work on a major project to improve the water mains network.
For around six weeks from Monday, February 14, a section of Nitshill Road will be closed to vehicles between Levern Bridge Road and Barrhead Road.
Traffic will be diverted via Barrhead Road, Barrhead roundabout and Peat Road. Road users are being advised to allow extra time for their journey.

Pedestrian access past the working area will be maintained although some bus services may be affected.
The road closure will enable Scottish Water to carry out important work to install sections of water main as part of the Glasgow Resilience Project, which involves the installation of seven miles of new pipes.
The new mains will connect the Glasgow area’s water network and the system in Ayrshire to increase resilience and protect supplies for about one million customers.
The new water main is being installed in the Ibrox, Mosspark, Pollok, Priesthill, Nitshill and Parkhouse areas of Glasgow.
