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.
