A spokesman said: “Motorists were advised to use alternative route and expect longer than normal journey times.”
Traffic built up at the Keir Roundabout throughout the afternoon, with some reporting tailbacks stretching several miles.
Delays were worsened by a vehicle breakdown in the queues just after 3.30pm.
Police Scotland initially told The Courier the incident related to a broken down vehicle, but later stated it was a collision involving two vehicles.
It is understood one car collided with a stationary motor.
