A phased reopening of the square is currently underway with the north carriageway and footways back-in-use, at present.

By the end of August, the western section is scheduled to become available to the public.

Construction of the new southern carriageway of the square is moving forward, but work on the Queen Street - St Vincent Place junction will be underway on 4 August. 

Granite stones will be laid across the new junction, pavements will be widened and new traffic lights will be installed. 

To make sure work is delivered safely and efficiently, the junction will be closed to all vehicles for the timeframe of the work, which is anticipated to last for ten weeks.

Pedestrian access will be kept across the junction for the duration of works while road traffic arrangements will be implemented. 

Councillor Angus Millar, city convener for City Centre Recovery, said: “The redevelopment of George Square is really taking shape and we are now getting a strong feel for what the finished square will look like.

“Work is moving forward across the square to create its new layout and lay new stone surfacing with renovations on the Sir Walter Scott column and the Cenotaph also going very well.”

Millar added: “The reconstruction of the junction at Queen St and St Vincent Place is a crucial part of the redevelopment of the square. This will be the main route through the square for west bound traffic and also create a highly attractive entry point to the square for people on foot.”

The George Square redevelopment forms a key part of the £140 Avenues and Avenues Plus programmes, which is currently sitting at its midway point.
