Glasgow City Council is closing the southbound path of the Clyde Tunnel to remove 'disgusting' graffiti following complaints from our readers.
From 9am this morning, Tuesday May 9 until 1pm Wednesday, May 10 the southbound cycle/pedestrian path will be closed to allow the team to work to remove the vandalism.
We previously reported the Clyde Tunnel has been plagued with graffiti and offensive slogans plastered across the walls.
One woman contacted Glasgow Live to say she has seen racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments staining the walls inside the tunnel as well as litter problems plaguing the area.
She says children's groups are often walking through the tunnel and are being exposed to the "disgusting" words which include "b***h, f*** you and c*** s*****"
The 44-year-old woman, who wishes to remain anonymous, told Glasgow Live: "Over the years I have seen racist comments, homophobic comments, misogynistic comments and disgusting words not to mention the excrements and litter that I see in the tunnel.
"When we moved to the new children’s hospital we were encouraged that walking through the tunnel would be safe but I do not feel safe walking through the tunnel.
"If something happened to you in that tunnel, nobody would hear your screams. I regularly walk with keys in my hands when I’m walking past anyone because I think anything could happen to me and nobody would know.
"It’s not a pleasant walk and it’s a shame because if it was manned appropriately and it was decorated in a fantastic way, it can be an okay place to walk.
She added: "When I see graffiti like that it makes me sad and disappointed. I’m sad to think what drove those people to write those things."
While the work is being carried out on the southbound cycle path, the northbound will remain open.
