COP 26: Many road closures for Glasgow climate change summit announced

A number of roads in Glasgow will be closed to traffic when the city hosts the UN climate change conference COP26 in November.

The event, at the city's Scottish Events Campus, was postponed last November because of the Covid pandemic.

Organisers said the closures were necessary to facilitate the event, which it is hoped will attract leading figures from around the world.

Among the affected roads are the Clydeside Expressway and the Clyde Arc.

Elsewhere sections of Finnieston Street, Lancefield Quay, Stobcross Road and Minerva Street will also be closed.

Pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained on Finnieston Street, Lancefield Quay and the Clyde Arc.
