Forth Road Bridge closed in both directions after police called to concern for person
A major route in Edinburgh has been closed for hours due to a police incident.
Officers were called to the Forth Road Bridge at around 9.30am this morning following reports of concern for a person. Traffic Scotland’s latest update shortly after 3pm said the road was still closed in both directions with drivers still being urged to avoid the area.
Traffic Scotland said those using the Forth Road Bridge are ‘advised to use the Queensferry Crossing at this time due to a police incident’.
And despite delays, the AA Route Planner said traffic is ‘coping well’ in the area.
