A traffic warning has been issued for a busy route in Glasgow.

A water main has burst on Riverbank Street, with Scottish Water confirming the incident happened at around 2.15pm.

Engineers are currently on site carrying out repairs to the issue, which is affecting water supply in the area.

Disruption is expected, with the organisation asking motorists to seek alternative routes if possible.

An estimated completion time for the works is 6pm.
