A SECTION of a busy south west Glasgow street will be temporary closed for roadworks.

Mosspark Drive will be shut at its junction with Corkerhill Road from Monday, March 7 for five weeks.

The closure will enable Scottish Water's pipe installation work to continue.

A diversion route will be in place via Corkerhill Road, Mosspark Boulevard and Paisley Road West.

Scottish Water said they apologise for any inconvenience and thank affected road users in advance for their patience and understanding.

The work is part of the Glasgow Resilience Project, which involves the installation of seven miles of new pipes to connect the Glasgow area’s water network and the system in Ayrshire.

The new water main is being installed in the Ibrox, Mosspark, Pollok, Priesthill, Nitshill and Parkhouse areas of Glasgow.
