Scottish bridge reopens after police closure in both directions

Good morning,

Early morning commuters in Tayside faced lengthy delays as the Tay Road Bridge was closed after reports of concern for a woman on the bridge.

The bridge, which carries traffic across the Firth of Tay from Newport-on-Tay in Fife to Dundee, was shut in both directions as authorities attended the scene on Monday morning.

The Tay Road Bridge twitter account first reported the closure at 03:25 today.

The bridge was reopened around 6:30am.
