THE Queensferry Crossing was partially closed on Friday after a multi-vehicle crash on the bridge.
Traffic Scotland warned that the collision had led to a partial closure in the southbound direction, with delays of around 40 minutes expected.
The crash on the bridge led to both the hard shoulder and second lane being blocked by a “number of vehicles”, Traffic Scotland said, adding that the first lane was still moving.
Police Scotland confirmed that three vehicles were involved.
A spokesperson said: “Around 9.45 am on Friday, July 14 we received a report of a three vehicle crash on the Queensferry Crossing.”
The iconic bridge over the Firth of Forth makes up part of the M90 motorway and is a common route for commuters from Fife to Edinburgh.
