Officials temporarily close Erskine Bridge near Glasgow, UK, as of late July 1 amid unspecified police activity; traffic disruptions likely.
Authorities have temporarily closed the Erskine Bridge, located near Glasgow, in both directions as of late July 1 due to an unspecified "police incident." Emergency services personnel have arrived at the scene, and officials have instructed motorists to utilize alternative routes to circumvent the area. The time at which authorities would reopen the route to traffic was not immediately clear. Officials will likely provide updates on the situation over the coming hours.
The bridge closure will likely cause traffic disruptions in the area over the short term. Residual transport disruptions may affect the area even after the police incident is resolved and the bridge reopens to traffic.
Avoid the incident site until authorities give the all-clear and vacate the scene. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the affected area and any traffic disruptions. Allow additional time to travel if operating near the site of the police activity. Adhere to all instructions issued by local officials.
