VIDEOS have shown a busy street in Glasgow flooded with water this morning due to a burst pipe.
Shortly after 7.25am, a Traffcom update warned drivers that in order to accommodate Scottish Water’s urgent water main repairs Crow Road at Great Western Road has been closed in a southbound direction for approximately 400m.
Now, a reported additional water burst means that Bearsden Road has been reduced to one lane on its approach to Anniesland Cross.
Road users are advised to approach the Anniesland Cross Junction with caution due to the amount of surface water in the area.
A Scottish Water spokesperson said: "A burst on a 36-inch trunk water main has occurred in Crow Road, Anniesland, near its junction with Fulton Street and is causing some localised flooding in the area.
"The burst could temporarily cause low water pressure or loss of normal water supply to properties in areas such as the city centre, West End, Partick, Anniesland and Govan."
"Engineers are working to restore any affected supplies by carrying out re-zoning of the local network and to repair the burst as quickly as possible."
Shocking images and videos shared with the Glasgow Times have shown the extent of flooding with a large area completely submerged.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
