A MAJOR Glasgow road is set to shut for eight days for filming later this week, and public transport services are being impacted by the closure.
Glasgow has been the scene of a superhero makeover in recent weeks with the set of Batgirl filming in various locations across the city.
Filming for other films such as Indiana Jones and The Batman have also occurred over the past year with the city raking in a record figure of £42.4 million in film revenue.
There is no sign of major movie productions stopping in Glasgow and the latest set will now see Glassford street shut for a period of eight days.
The busy city centre road will be closed from Friday February 11 until Saturday February 19.
First Buses have announced all of their timetable changes in the area on their website ahead of the closure.
Information taken from Glasgow City Council’s website also suggests that more closures will take place in the city centre during the end of February and into the beginning of March on Hanover Street and George Square South.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
