DRIVERS are being warned of closures set to be in place in and around a Glasgow retail park later this month.

Scottish Water confirmed it is about to begin a ‘key phase of a crucial project’ to support the development of thousands of new homes in Robroyston.

As such the utility company will be upgrading critical infrastructure and installing over a mile of new pipework in the area.

(Image: Scottish Water) This will be carried out from Monday, July 15 by the company’s commercial subsidiary, Scottish Water Horizons.

During this time the inside lane of the exit to Robroyston Retail Park and one eastbound lane of the B765 will be closed.

The area where the closures will be in place (Image: Scottish Water) This is to allow for a water main to be moved across the road and new pipework to be installed in the grass verge towards Saughs Avenue.

It is expected that around mid-August the road traffic management will be moved further along the eastbound carriageway of the B765 and the single lane closure at the retail park will be removed.

Greg Small, Horizons Project Manager, said: “This project will support the development of over 5000 new properties by installing over a mile of new upgraded water mains.

“We have taken steps to give advance warning to customers visiting the retail park before the traffic restrictions are in place and we will work with all involved to keep disruption to a minimum.

“This is a vital project to support a flourishing Scotland and we are committed to working with stakeholders and customers to deliver it as quickly and safely as possible.”

Mount Everest's highest camp is littered with frozen garbage, and cleanup is likely to take years
The highest camp on the world’s tallest mountain is littered with garbage that is going to take years to clean up, according to a Sherpa who led a team that worked to clear trash and dig up dead bodies frozen for years near Mount Everest’s peak. The Nepal government-funded team of soldiers and Sherpas removed 11 tons (24,000 pounds) of garbage, four dead bodies and a skeleton from Everest during this year's climbing season. Ang Babu Sherpa, who led the team of Sherpas, said there could be as much as 40-50 tons (88,000-110,000 pounds) of garbage still at South Col, the last camp before climbers make their attempt on the summit.

Hippopotamuses can become airborne for substantial periods of time, researchers discover
Hippopotamuses can become airborne for substantial periods of time, according to new research into the mammals. Research by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) found that the animals can be up in the air for up to 0.3 seconds at a time when moving fast. The findings found that unlike other land animals such as elephants, horses and rhinos, hippos exclusively trot when moving, pushing the limits of what giant land animals can do, the RVC said.
