DRIVERS are being warned that a stretch of a road in Dumbarton is set to close for five days.

West Dunbartonshire Council (WDC) announced the closure on its website.

Residents are being advised that local and pedestrian access will be maintained during this period.

Emergency service access will also be permitted. 

A diversion route will be in place.

Diversion route: 

  • Bellsmyre Avenue to Valeview Terrace, and vice versa.
