Several fire service appliances were lined up at nearby Tannadice Park.
Manned police roadblocks were set up at all access points around the closure zone.
People living in the street said they had been left in the dark.
One resident said: “We’ve been asking and asking, but the police won’t tell us a thing.
“Seeing the bomb squad parked at the end of your street is just terrifying. I would sleep easier if I knew what was going on.”
