A police car was seen driving on to the bridge at around midday. Another car is stationed at the entrance to the bridge, which is closed off with cones, and an officer is directing traffic.

The road currently remains closed between York Road roundabout and St George’s roundabout and traffic jams are building up around the area. Bus passengers are also being warned of delays.
