The A82 has reopened following a "multi vehicle" crash near Loch Lomond.

The trunk road was shut in both directions between the Arden and Stoneymollan roundabouts at around 2.45pm on Wednesday, September 1.

Emergency services attended the scene.

Vehicles were diverted via Cardross and Helensburgh, using the A814 and A818, with traffic in the areas described as much heavier than normal.

The severity of the crash is not yet known.

Shortly after 5.40pm, Traffic Scotland announced on Twitter that the road had reopened in both directions, though traffic in the area, and along the diversion routes, remains heavy.

 

 

Following the initial closure announcement, a Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 2.35pm, police received a report of a multi-vehicle road crash on the A82 near Balloch. 

"The road is currently closed between Stoneymollan Roundabout and Arden Roundabout.  Emergency service are currently on the scene."
