Part of a major city centre road was closed to rush hour traffic after masonry fell from a building.

Glasgow City Council advised that Sauchiehall Street had been shut to all eastbound traffic at its junction with St Georges Road/Newton Street due to falling debris at around 5.30pm on Tuesday.

Police Scotland confirmed officers were called out to Japanese restaurant Nanakusa earlier on in the afternoon at around 3.20pm.

The road was reopened by 7.40pm.

A council spokesperson said: "The loose masonry has been removed and Sauchiehall Street is now fully open to traffic."
