Drivers on the Queensferry Crossing^[1] are facing severe delays of nearly an hour after a crash left the road blocked.

Police were called to the scene at around 2pm following reports of the crash, which Traffic Scotland^[2] said had restricted access across the bridge northbound. One lane was reported to be blocked. Both lanes northbound on the bridge have now reopened but however lane 2 near Ferrytoll remains blocked for vehicle recovery.

Emergency services are on the scene and drivers using the bridge have been warned to expect delays of around 50 minutes. A statement from Traffic Scotland read: “The M90 Queensferry crossing is restricted Northbound due to a road traffic incident. Motorists are advised to use caution on approach and should be aware of possible delays to journey times.”

A Police Scotland^[3] spokesperson said: “Around 2pm on Wednesday, November 22, police received a report of a two-vehicle crash on the M90 Queensferry Crossing. Emergency services are at the scene.”
