Drivers faced traffic chaos after a huge cordon was put up following the discovery of an ordnance item at a property in Dundee.
A long stretch of Arbroath Road, between the Claypotts junction and the Scott Fyffe Roundabout, was closed for several hours on Friday.
It came after the ordnance item was found on Kintore Place.
Police were on point on several streets in the area, including Gotterstone Avenue, Kemnay Place and Fairfield Road.
Arbroath Road has since reopened but officers remained in the area.
An army expert was also spotted at the scene briefly.
One passer-by described the original cordon as “massive”.
Drivers also took to social media to describe “mayhem” and “chaos” on roads in the area with motorists forced to find other routes.
Another witness told The Courier: “Police closed Arbroath Road to traffic but were still letting people walk down.
“There were some officers directing cars around the roundabout and then further down the road too.
“They were stopping people from walking down the road any further than the college football pitches and were directing people away.
“It seemed most of the police were based further down the street.”
Stagecoach East Scotland said several of its bus services had been disrupted by the closure.
Police Scotland was contacted for an update.
