The Erskine Bridge has been partially closed in both directions due to an ongoing police incident.
Road users have been urged to avoid the area if possible with heavy traffic on both routes.
Traffic Scotland confirmed the closure at 11:15 this morning on social media.
Initially both lanes on the busy bridge were closed, however the northbound section was reopened at around 12.35pm.
Police say the incident, which involved crews from the coastguard, was in response to "concerns for a person".
Patients or staff making their way into the hospital at the moment should be aware that both lanes of the Erskine Bridge southbound are closed due to an ongoing police incident. Drivers are advised to find an alternative route.
