A busy road in South Lanarkshire has been shut after a gas leak was discovered.
Police closed the A726 between Chapelton and Coldstream Road in Strathaven on Monday.
The gas leak was detected about 3pm, with local diversions remaining in place.
A Police Scotland spokesman told the BBC the road was likely to be closed for some time. Local diversions remain in place.
A three-way traffic lights system will be in operation once the road is reopened.
Gas supplier SGN said it was working "around the clock" to fix the leak.
