Traffic Scotland confirmed the lane had reopened at around 8.20am but drivers were still advised to be aware of congestion in the area, in particular at J3 Halbeath.

The congestion was made worse by diversions in Inverkeithing following an overnight fire at an old primary school in Roods Road.

Some local roads were closed while emergency services dealt with the incident.
