However, it means that a number of roads will be closed throughout the city for over two weeks as a result. We previously told how traffic in some areas will come to a near standstill as drivers will be forced to make their way along set-up diversion routes. The closures are being implemented by Glasgow City Council, which has warned that bus and taxi lanes will also be impacted, with a suspension in place. A section of the following roads will be closed to all vehicles between Friday, August 1, and Saturday, August 9: Bothwell Street Wellington Street West Campbell Street Blythswood Street Douglas Street Pitt Street The full length of Cadzow Street and Oak Street will also be fully closed on August 9. Top filming location BACK in November, Glasgow was transformed into a dystopian New York as filming got underway for The Running Man, a reboot of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film. Glen Powell was spotted filming in and around the city, and he even popped into The Locale in Charing Cross for a wrap party. Rumours are swirling that director Abrams' new film is an 80s throwback loosely inspired by The Last Starfighter, but the title remains unknown. And more filming crews are set to swarm the city for Spider-Man 4. Some scenes being shot will reportedly 'involve vehicles on the road', with crews anticipating that Bothwell Street will be the focal point. It is understood that the Glasgow-based shoot for the upcoming Marvel blockbuster will commence in mid-August. Other films that have been shot in the city over recent years include World War Z, which used George Square to represent Philadelphia, and was also transformed into Gotham City for Batgirl and The Batman. Other notable films shot in Glasgow include Skyfall, Avengers: Infinity War, Fast & Furious 6, Trainspotting, and Perfect Sense. More roads will also be closed from Saturday, August 9, until Wednesday, August 13, for further filming. These include parts of: Hope Street Queen Street Renfield Street South Frederick Street St Vincent Street Ingram Street West Nile Street Drury Street (for its full length) Filming is then set to move further along into Merchant City after Wednesday, August 13. This means that cars will not be able to drive down the following roads between then and Saturday, August 16: Wilson Street Brunswick Street Hutchison Street Candleriggs Scenes are also expected to be filmed on Glassford Street and Virginia Street on Thursday, August 14, and Friday, August 15. 7 The UK traffic lights are in the process of being taken down Credit: Les Gallagher 7 While the current street signs were covered up Credit: Les Gallagher
