Traffic on the M90 is now being diverted over the Forth Road Bridge, after the Queensferry Crossing was closed as a safety precaution due to a risk of falling ice.
Transport Scotland’s operating company BEAR Scotland took the decision to close the Queensferry Crossing at 10:50 after ice was observed falling from the bridge’s stay cables above the carriageway.
Motorway traffic was stopped while automated barriers at either end of the Queensferry Crossing were moved into position to redirect the M90 over the neighbouring Forth Road Bridge, with traffic moving again by 10:50.
A reduced speed limit is in force through the automated barriers and on the Forth Road Bridge.
