A ROAD closed due to a burst water main has been partially reopened.

Following the burst in the New City Road area on Friday, Garscube Road, Phoenix Road and the M8 slip at West Graham Street were closed.

Phoenix Road and Garscube Road were opened on Wednesday, followed by Dobbies Loan this afternoon.

Motorists are warned that lane closures remain in place throughout the junction and delays are to be expected during peak times.

The burst water pipe caused misery for motorists and residents after being discovered on Friday morning.

A family of American tourists had to be rescued from their car after it became submerged in water while travelling on the M8 slip road.
