Paisley Road West

What’s happening

We are carrying out urgent sewer repair works, alongside separate emergency water network works, in the Ibrox area of Glasgow.

Urgent sewer repair works are taking place at the junction of Paisley Road West and Govan Road, near Ibrox. These works are required to protect the local wastewater network and prevent further issues.

At the same time, separate emergency works are required on the water network in the surrounding area. These will be managed alongside the sewer repairs to help minimise disruption wherever possible.

The sewer repair works are scheduled to begin on Monday 9 February and are expected to be completed by 1 March.

Emergency repairs on the water main, also on Paisley Road West at the junction of Dumbreck Road and Carillon Road are expected to last between four and eight weeks. 

To allow the works to be carried out safely, traffic management will be in place, including a lane closure and restrictions, temporary traffic signals and changes to pedestrian routes around the site.

Paisley Road West is closed to through traffic (westbound) from its junctions with Carillon Road/ Edmiston Drive and Dumbreck Road, with a signed diversion via Edmiston Drive – Helen Street and then back onto Paisley Road West. 

In addition, there is no access or egress via Paisley Road West from Carillon Road. A local diversion via Clifford Street and North Gower Street is in place for access and egress to Carillon Road. Local access to Clifford Gardens is via North Gower Street - Clifford Street – Beech Avenue. With egress being back the opposite way from entry. Local access to the 10-12 carparking spaces of 601, 603 & 605 Paisley Road West is via North Gower Street - Clifford Street – Beech Avenue – Paisley Road West and then into the carpark. With egress being back the opposite way from entry.

Paisley Road West, going eastbound is unaffected. The west bound footpath on Paisley Road West is closed between exit of BP Garage & junction to Dumbreck Road. Pedestrian Diversion is in place via existing pedestrian Crossing.

Due to the location near Ibrox Stadium, additional planning has been put in place for matchdays. Traffic management arrangements will be actively managed, with enhanced on-site coordination and parking enforcement to help manage traffic flow and pedestrian safety.

Delays are likely, particularly on matchdays. Drivers and pedestrians are advised to follow on-site signage, plan journeys in advance and allow extra time for travel.
