Edinburgh motorists have reportedly been left sitting in queues of up to five hours, following an earlier fire on the A720.
Earlier this afternoon, April 14, the busy Edinburgh bypass was closed both westbound and eastbound at Baberton following a lorry trailer catching fire near the Calder junction, as dramatic images of the blaze emerged.
Images from the scene showed huge clouds of black smoke billowing into the air, with Police Scotland even warning nearby residents in Wester Hailes and Sighthill to close their windows.
