New diversions as demolition work ongoing on Glasgow Union Street site

The remaining structure is currently being pulled down after the majority of it was destroyed on Sunday, March 8.

In pictures taken by Glasgow Times photographer Gordon Terris, engineers can be seen working away on the top of the 175-year-old site.

This comes after Glasgow City Council said yesterday would be the last day of the demolition works, which will cost at least £1 million.

Today, the local authority confirmed work is "progressing well" and announced an updated map of local road closures.

Gordon Street and Union Street are shut, Argyle Street is only accessible by bus and taxi only and several diversions are in place.

Trains to Glasgow Central - next to the building - have still only partially returned to the Higher Level, while the Lower Level is now fully operational.
