West End road to re-open more than a year after wall collapse
A WEST End road that has been closed to motorists for more than a year is to re-open.
Benalder Street was shut to traffic after a wall collapsed at La Riviera restaurant in Partick.
Repairs are underway which should allow residents and neighbouring businesses to return to their homes in the next few weeks.
Glasgow City Council said the repairs are likely to take around a week, if no further problems are identified and the road will then be re-opened.
The demolition of the restaurant stalled due to a dispute between the restaurant owner and the flat owners, over whether the business should be repaired or rebuilt.
The Dolphin pub re-opened to the public on Wednesday.
