A ROAD in Anniesland is set to close for one week due to a burst water main. 

A section of the southbound carriageway of Crow Road will be shut between Ancaster Drive and Sackville Avenue from Tuesday, April 18, after a 36-inch pipe has burst.

Vehicles will be diverted along Anniesland Road, Queen Victoria Drive and back onto Dumbarton Road.

Drivers are being asked to follow all signs put in place.

Georgina Reid, Scottish Water’s Corporate Affairs manager in the west, said: "Given the size and the location of the damaged section of water main there is no other way of repairing it safely.

"We are acutely aware this is a busy route for commuters but also for people travelling from the south to Loch Lomondside and beyond.

"We will do all that we can to minimise any disruption and of course will work as quickly and as safely as possible to complete the repair and reopen the road at the earliest opportunity."

The northbound carriageway will not be affected.
