Bomb scare near Glasgow sparks road closure amid 'unexploded wartime device' concerns

Police were forced to close two sliproads near Glasgow today (January 24) after a bomb scare.

Officers were alerted to an area near to the A8 in Shawhead, Coatbridge, around 2:45pm following the discovery of what was thought to be an unexploded wartime device.

As a precaution, the on and off ramp from the A725 to the A8 was closed as a precaution, with Traffic Scotland issuing an alert to drivers to find an alternative route.
