EMERGENCY ROAD CLOSURE IN GLASGOW CITY CENTRE AS SINKHOLE DISCOVERED

Scottish Water are carrying out an emergency sewer repair on St Vincent Street in Glasgow after a sinkhole appeared in the eastbound carriageway outside the Scottish Power building.

To allow this essential work to be carried out safely, the publicly-owned utility have closed the eastbound section of St Vincent Street between Newton Street and Elmbank Street.

The investigations are still in the early stages, with the affected sewer located around four metres below the surface.

The cause of the sinkhole is not yet known, and the duration of the repair will depend on the outcome of further investigations.

A Scottish Water Spokesperson said,

“We’re working hard to investigate and fix this issue as quickly and safely as possible to help minimise disruption.

“We are also aware of upcoming events in the area, including The Lloyd’s Tour of Britian Women cycle race this Sunday and the Men’s 10K next weekend. We’re in discussions with the organisers but both events are still expected to go ahead.

“We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while we carry out this essential repair.”

Local businesses remain open as usual, and pedestrian access is being maintained.

Road users are advised to follow the signs in place.
