M8 closed - all lanes shut in both directions amid reports of incident on motorway bridge

UPDATE: The road is now clear.

The M8 is closed in both directions tonight amid reports of an incident on a motorway bridge.

All traffic is at a standstill on both sides of the busy road.

Motorists reports waits of around 10-15 minutes so far and mass congestion around Junction 22, which is having a knock-on effect up and down the route.

One eyewitness reported police activity on a motorway bridge.

Traffic Scotland is reporting delays from Junction 22 - 31, as well as on the Kingston Bridge.

A Traffic Scotland statement reads: "All lanes closed Westbound for up to 15 minutes."
