Good morning,

Early morning commuters in Tayside faced lengthy delays as the Tay Road Bridge was closed after reports of concern for a woman on the bridge.

The bridge, which carries traffic across the Firth of Tay from Newport-on-Tay in Fife to Dundee, was shut in both directions as authorities attended the scene on Monday morning.

The Tay Road Bridge twitter account first reported the closure at 03:25 today.

The bridge was reopened around 6:30am.
