Road closures as Fast and Furious spin-off filming begins
A number of roads are expected to close during the production of blockbuster Hobbs and Shaw.
Glasgow City Council has announced upcoming road closures as filming for the Fast and Furious spin-off gets under way this week.
The Universal Pictures production, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Jason Statham, will take centre stage across a number of city centre streets on Tuesday.
Hobbs and Shaw's crew of 200 will have a significant impact on the city's economy - but will also shut down a number of busy roads as filming takes place.
A car chase will be shot in George Square while residents can expect to hear "gunfire" during filming.
