A major road heading into Clydebank will remain shut due to emergency gas works.
The busy commuter road has been shut in one direction due to gas repair works, which were revealed at 11.30am on Tuesday, March 3.
Scottish Gas Network (SGN) confirmed the closure of the westbound carriageway of Dumbarton Road.
Staff previously said it was unclear when the road would be accessible again, but have now confirmed that the road will remain shut until at least Thursday next week, March 12.
A spokesperson for SGN said: "We’re continuing emergency gas repairs to our network in Dumbarton Road, Glasgow.
"Our engineers have made good progress and are now finalising repairs. This means we can start restoring the road surface from Monday, March 9.
"This process takes time as several layers of road material must be applied and allowed to harden to meet required safety standards.
They continued: "Due to the location of the gas main, Dumbarton Road remains closed in the westbound direction heading towards Clydebank, between its junctions with Queen Victoria Drive and Duchall Place.
"We’re working as quickly as possible to complete repairs and restore the road surface and would like to thank Glasgow and Clydebank residents and motorists for their patience and understanding.
"All going well, we hope to reopen Dumbarton Road westbound as normal on Thursday, March 12."
