Emergency services were called out after concerns were raised for a man on the bridge around 4.30 on Friday morning.
Traffic was diverted via Perth while the incident took place.
The car park at the Fife end of the bridge was filled with waiting vehicles as a result of the five hour closure.
One waiting motorist said: “This isn’t a one-off. These incidents are happening more often.”
