Motorists are facing traffic chaos in Dundee after a breakdown on the Tay Bridge

One driver said: “It was absolute chaos and nothing was moving.

“Traffic was at a standstill right around the city centre.”

“I got stuck at the roundabout at the Olympia for around 15 minutes so tried to go back round and go the other way up towards the Bell Street roundabout but got stuck there too.

“At 6.45pm I was still stuck in traffic and not getting anywhere.

“It took ages to finally get moving again with traffic at a standstill all around the city centre area.”

According to Traffic Scotland the breakdown was cleared around half an hour after it happened.

The driver who spoke to The Courier said: “I saw that the breakdown had been cleared but that did nothing to solve the traffic chaos in Dundee for ages afterwards.

“It was a nightmare.”
