- 3 years ago
Views of the Clydeside Expressway before it closes on Saturday 23rd of October for COP26. It will also be closed for the duration of the summit.
GetReadyGlasgow, which is co-ordinating travel information, warned: “Based on experience from previous Cops, there is a risk that unofficial fringe activity could occur which could cause further disruption to Glasgow’s transport network”.
Other events in the city could put further pressure on travel, such as the Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Ross County at Ibrox at 3pm on Sunday November 7.
A total of 25,000 people are expected to attend the United Nations conference at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC), west of the city centre, with up to 14,000 there at one time.
GetReadyGlasgow said the event’s scale was “unprecedented in the UK” with nearly 200 nations and 120 heads of state due to attend.
The M8, M80, M74 and M77 motorways through and beyond the city are predicted to be “significantly busier than usual”.
