Drivers faced long tailbacks on the approach to the Queensferry Crossing after a tractor came off the back of a lorry on Thursday morning
At around 10:25am a lane was blocked on the bridge southbound for several hours, with traffic queueing back as far as Halbeath.
The lane later reopened – although drivers faced significant delays for hours after the tractor was cleared.
After the tractor fell off the lorry, a post from Road Policing Scotland on X said: “Fife road policing are currently dealing with a tractor that has fallen from an HGV on the southbound carriageway of the Queensferry Crossing.
According to Traffic Scotland updates, traffic remained heavy throughout the afternoon with delays as long as 60 minutes.
The Queensferry Crossing was announced ‘clear’ at 4:18pm.
