Glasgow roads to reopen today as COP26 comes to an end

Glasgow roads will reopen today as normal after being closed for weeks due to COP26.

A number of road closures were put in place for the climate change summit over the last few weeks but now, Glasgow City Council has said that from 6am today they will be back to normal with no restrictions in place.

The Clydeside Expressway, Clyde Arc and Finnieston Street have all been closed for the last few weeks, causing a bit of traffic chaos in the city.

But now motorists will be delighted to know that they have now reopened, just in time for rush hour.

Glasgow City Council tweeted: "The Clydeside Expressway, Clyde Arc and Finnieston Street will reopen to vehicles as planned, from 06:00 Monday 15th, following the conclusion of COP26."

Tens of thousands of people have descended on Glasgow over recent weeksas elite politicians and delegates came together to discuss solutions to the climate crisis.

A deal was finally agreed among the 197 nations who took part in the COP26 climate talk s after the conference ran over by an extra day in Glasgow.

All of the nations involved in the conference have agreed to strengthen their emissions-cutting targets for 2030 by the end of next year, as well as accelerating efforts to "phase down" unabated coal and phasing out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies.
