The works on Duke Street are being extended until the beginning of May.

It has been announced that works on Duke Street in Glasgow’s East End as part of the Avenues Project are to be extended for a few weeks.

Works on Duke Street began at the beginning of January and were set to finish after three months on Sunday 19 April.

Temporary traffic lights are to be in place to allow for the works from the junction of High Street and Duke Street, to the junction of Havannah Street and Duke Street over the coming weeks.

The construction to Duke Street and John Knox Street will see the introduction of high-quality public realm to improve connectivity and accessibility for pedestrians, wheelers and cyclists in the area. The introduction of segregated cycle infrastructure street trees and new public realm will improve the built environment. | Glasgow City Council
