Overturned campervan on A9 closed Kessock Bridge northbound; road has since reopened

TRAFFIC remains heavy around the Inverness area after an earlier crash just north of the Kessock Bridge.

Emergency services, including an ambulance and two fire engines attended the scene after a campervan overturned on the A9 at around 4.45pm.

The campervan was left on its side on the A9's northbound carriageway, on the short stretch between the bridge and the turn-off for Harry Gow's North Kessock bakery.

Traffic Scotland issued an update at 5.25pm to say the northbound carriageway of the Kessock Bridge was now closed to all vehicles.

In a later update, at 6pm, they tweeted that police were on scene managing traffic, adding: "Congestion in Inverness #Avoid Length delays of over an hour."

The northbound carriageway has since reopened, with traffic once again moving on the bridge.
