en.Wedoany.com Reported - The renovation project for the pedestrian walkways and carriageways on the north side of Glasgow's George Square, led by UK-based Rainton Construction, is set to be completed next week.
Glasgow City Council has revealed that the newly laid granite paving stones on the pedestrian walkways and carriageways will be fully installed by 5:00 PM on June 26. At that time, vehicles will be able to travel from West George Street and North Hanover Street along the new carriageway to George Street, with authorized vehicles permitted to turn north onto North Hanover Street. Private cars will be allowed to drive along the new carriageway or enter and exit between 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM. Vehicle access at the bottom of North Frederick Street will commence in late July, once the intersection works are completed.
Councillor Angus Millar, Convener for City Centre Recovery at Glasgow City Council, stated that the reopening of the road on the north side of George Square marks another significant milestone in the comprehensive transformation of the city's largest public space. With high-quality stone paving extending to the roads and pedestrian walkways, people can already sense the appearance of the new square. In recent weeks, work on Cowcaddens Road Avenue has also been completed, bringing new greenery and a strong sense of place to the north side of the city centre. Millar noted that there is no doubt the city centre has experienced extensive road construction in recent months, but now the transformation that has been worked towards is beginning to take shape—a transformation that will serve the city for decades to come.
In other areas of George Square, work on the southern carriageway is ongoing, while the pedestrian walkway projects on the east and west sides were completed some time ago. The next phase of the restoration of the Sir Walter Scott Monument has begun, with the upper section finished and work on the lower section now underway.
