Drivers were being asked to follow police direction, but are now being told to use an alternate route.

Images posted on social media suggested the cause of the closure was due to a major car accident.

Glasgow Kelvin College told its staff and students in a statement: “Police have advised the college that the cordon around Springburn campus is likely to be in place until at least lunchtime.

“There is no vehicle access to Springburn campus or Flemington Street.

“The college is open but travelling by public transport may be easier for you.”
