A BUSY road in East Dunbartonshire is to close for five days as works to improve water infrastructure in the area are carried out.

Road users in Bearsden and Drumchapel will be affected as a section of Station Road closes from Monday, September 24.

The route affected will be the road’s junction with Drummore Road and Chesters Road, stretching to a point on Station Road halfway along Colquhoun Park.

Drivers are being urged to follow local diversions via Kinfauns Drive and Canniesburn Road, and Chesters Road, Thorn Road and Drymen Road.

Access will be maintained for local residents.

Ruaridh MacGregor, Scottish Water’s corporate affairs regional manager, said: “This survey will help identify potential future improvements to our water infrastructure in the area so that our customers can continue to enjoy clear, fresh drinking water”.

“We’d like to thank the local community in advance for their patience and understanding while this essential survey work is carried out.”
