Works on a major road have run over schedule, leading to two main routes being closed at once.
Renton Road was earmarked to close overnight for 14 nights from July 29 to allow resurfacing works to be carried out.
The closure - between 9pm and 6am - has added to the misery experienced by motorists and commuters throughout the area for months.

Mobile signs have been in place at Renton Road since July, warning drivers of the closure.
Roads chiefs have blamed the delay on the weather and claimed Monday night was always part of the planned closure.
