The council admitted to 'sharing the cyclist's frustration' having 'fully signed off' a section of the Glasgow cycling network as recently as at the end of April cycling
It is understood the works are for tunnelling by SPEN, the council admitting to"sharing the cyclist's frustration" having"fully signed off" the Gorbals Street section of the cycling network at the end of April.
"The South City Way is a fantastic addition to cycling infrastructure in the city but it is currently a death trap," the rider suggested. "The closure at two of its busiest sections is creating a real hazard for cyclists, pedestrians and motorists and it is only a matter of time before there is a serious accident.
"We're sorry for any disruption or inconvenience caused by these essential works, which are required to support two important developments," a spokesperson said. "Our works at both sites are on track for completion this week, with the roads and the cycle paths set to be fully reinstated next week."
