Glasgow residents warned of raft of road closures amid £115m Avenues Project

Glasgow residents have been warned of phased road closures next month as the council continues the next stage of its Avenues Project.

The local authority has written to residents and businesses on Cambridge Street to advise them of the street closures that will take place from Monday, November 4 for three weeks.

The largest project of its kind in the UK with an investment of £115m, the Avenues Programme is expected to transform certain areas of Glasgow through a network of continuous pedestrian and cycle routes – with people at the very heart of their design.

The letter sent out last week states that carriageway resurfacing works will take place on Cambridge Street and Renfrew Street.

Phase one will see the resurfacing and re-lining of the carriageway between Cowcaddens Road and Hill Street and phase two will see the resurfacing and re-lining of the carriageway between Hill Street and Renfrew Street.

The last phase will then see work carried out at the Cambridge Street / Renfrew Street junction.

In order to undertake these works, the following temporary restrictions will apply during the times stated to the use of the following roads:

PHASE 1 from 8am on Monday, November 4 to 8am on Monday, November 11

Cambridge Street closed between Cowcaddens Road and Hill Street (East).
Hill Street (West) closed at the junction with Cambridge Street.
Hill Street (West) will be two-way traffic between Cambridge Street and Rose Street.
Hilton Access Road and Hill Street (East) will be one way traffic from Renfrew Street to Cambridge Street.
Rose Street will reverse the existing traffic flow and be one way traffic from Renfrew Street to Hill Street.

PHASE 2 from 8am on Monday, November 11 to 8pm on Monday, November 18

Cambridge Street to be closed from Hill Street (East) to Renfrew Street.
Hill Street (West) re-opened at the junction with Cambridge Street and revert to one-way operation from Cambridge Street (permanently).
Hilton Access Road and Hill Street (East) will reverse the traffic flow from the previous Phase 1 and will be one way traffic from Cambridge Street to Renfrew Street.
Rose Street will remain one way traffic from Renfrew Street to Hill Street.

PHASE 3 from 8am Monday, November 18 to 8am on Monday November 25

Cambridge Street will remain closed from Hill Street (East) to Renfrew Street.

Rose Street shall also revert to one-way operation from Hill Street to Renfrew Street at this time.

A traffic management system incorporating signed diversion routes will be in operation for the duration of the closures and businesses are requested to make alternative arrangements where possible.
