The Argyle Street West Avenue will stretch between where Argyle Street passes under the Kingston Bridge and the intersection of Argyle / Union Streets.
This project will deliver public realm improvements to this part of Argyle Street and will feature high-quality pavements and roads, with new cycleways and green/blue infrastructure such as trees and raingardens (subject to possible limitations due to the low-level railway line running along the full length of this Avenue).

This latest Avenue will be another part of the wider network of new, attractive, accessible, safe, sustainable and easily-maintained routes that will be connected throughout the city centre. The Avenues are people-focused, encourage active travel and make streets more attractive to residents, workers, visitors and investors.
Work is expected to begin on-site in early summer 2024, with completion in late autumn 2025.
Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of the Glasgow City Region Cabinet, said: "Our Avenues programme is focused on making our city centre streets more attractive and easier to get around - with this particular contract set to deliver work that will transform Argyle Street between the junction with Union Street and the Kingston Bridge."
