A Glasgow road due to open this week after months of tunnel works has been delayed by two months.
Scottish Water has announced a delay for the re-opening of Dyke Road in Yoker, which has been closed since March 18.
The stretch from Dumbarton Road to its junction with Craggan Drive has been undergoing a £7 million tunnel project to improve the water quality and natural environment of the River Clyde, and was due to reopen on Friday.

But unexpected delays have forced the road to continue to be closed until the end of August.
Scottish Water has thanked local residents and road users for their patience and understanding and say they remain focused on completing this work as quickly as possible.
The works will enable the completion of a storm overflow tunnel from the grounds of the former Blawarthill Hospital to the north banks of the Clyde.
