Glasgow city centre street reopens after sinkhole shuts road
St Vincent Street is open for traffic again from today, following nearly a month of works. The bust street was shut from its junction with Newton Street to its junction with Elmbank Street since early June, when a sinkhole appeared outside the Scottish Power building. Following investigations, repairs were carried out on both the sewer network and an adjacent water main by contractor George Leslie. Repairs were made more challenging due to the presence of uncharted underground utilities and structures.

'We're pleased to confirm the road has now reopened and all work has been safely completed.' During the works, the firm also worked closely with organisers of the Lloyd's Tour of Britain Women's cycle race, which successfully went ahead using a revised route during the closure.

Roldan wins stage two as Faulkner takes overall lead
Canada's Mara Roldan won stage two of the Lloyd's Tour of Britain Women as Kristen Faulkner of the United States took the leader's green jersey. Roldan, 21, of Team Picnic-Post NL broke away with 14km to go on the short steep climbs into Saltburn. Advertisement Britain's 19-year-old Cat Ferguson finished fifth for the second day in a row to move up to fourth in the general classification, just 14 seconds down. Ferguson, who rides for the Movistar World Tour team, and is considered one of the brightest talents in the sport, remains in the white young rider's jersey. Rolden finished the stage just ahead of pursuer Riejanne Markus of Lidl-Trek and a small group, including Ferguson, after the peloton split on the final circuit, which included the gruelling category one climbs on Saltburn bank. Olympic road race champion Faulkner, of EF Education-Oatly, leads Markus by four seconds overall. Advertisement Two-time Tour of Britain winner Lizzie Deignan of Lidl-Trek is 16th - two minutes seven seconds down in the GC. Drama right from the off After just one kilometre of a frantic official start in sodden conditions at Hartlepool Docks, the green jersey wearer Kim le Court of AG Insurance-Soudal hit the tarmac with two other riders, and took several minutes to gingerly return to the peloton. Thursday's winner of stage one now sits 21st in the GC after finishing nearly three minutes down in Saltburn. There were several sketchy moments as the weather started to improve as the race moved down the coast, including a busy day for the British continental CJ O'Shea team, who experienced a bike change, and separate front and rear punctures for their riders. Advertisement A miserable day was capped for AG Insurance-Soudal by the retirement of Gladys Verhulst-Wild of the Netherlands, who vaulted off her bike and landed deep in the undergrowth late in the stage following a high-speed downhill crash with Liv AlUla-Jayco's Josie Talbot of Australia.
