Glasgow city centre street closed for up to four weeks after sewer collapse
The road will be closed for up to four weeks.
A busy street in Glasgow city centre will remain closed for up to four weeks after it was confirmed a Victorian egg brick sewer has collapsed.
Scottish Water carried out a CCTV survey under an emergency road closure on Cathedral Street on Tuesday night to investigate signs of likely voids beneath the surface.
A spokesperson said: “The results clearly show damage to the sewer and the soil beneath the road surface having been washed away.
“It wouldn’t be safe to allow any vehicles to use the road so we will keep the closure in place and carry out the repair as quickly as possible which we anticipate will take about four weeks.

“There will be delays for motorists but we would ask people to follow diversion signs and allow extra time for their journeys.
“We would like to thank everyone affected for their patience and understanding.”
