Glasgow COP26 summit prompts Dumbarton Road closure with bus diversions in place

The upcoming COP26 summit has prompted a further road closure in Glasgow's west end.

Dumbarton Road will be closed to all traffic on November 1, 5, and 6 near to Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, Glasgow City Council has confirmed to Glasgow Live.

With that in mind, First Glasgow confirm that bus services will be diverted from today (October 29) to November 7 on three of their bus routes - namely the 2, 3 and 77 - with diversions in place via Byres Road.

The bus operator confirmed the diversions affecting their services in a bulletin issued last night on their website titled 'Glasgow Kelvingrove West End closures.'
