TRAFFIC is disrupted on the Tay Road Bridge due to a fallen lamppost.
Traffic is congested on the southbound approach and at East Dock Street in Dundee, with the southbound carriageway being restricted and the walkway closed due to the debris.
An eyewitness told The Courier: “It’s causing holdups along East Dock Street as cars queue to merge onto the bridge.
“Traffic is moving but at a snail’s pace.”

According to the Tay Road Bridge X account, the lamppost was struck and is leaning over the walkway, as well as lane two of the southbound carriageway.
A later update from the account said: “Street lighting engineers are on site to disconnect the lighting column and help us remove the post.
“Once complete we will get the bridge fully open.”
Street engineers are on site to disconnect and remove the lamppost, with the closed off areas to remain shut until the area is made safe.
The bridge had been recently shut following high winds as Storm Eowyn battered the country in January.
