It's April 27. Welcome in. This is Edinburgh News Today, where local news meets AI. Massive backups on the M8 Eastbound this morning, after a lorry spilled his load right in the middle of rush hour. It happened around 8 a.m. near Junction 4A and Ford Whipburn, forcing a full closure of that stretch to clear the mess. Travers of stuck with delays topping one and a half hours, and even the diversion route is adding nearly 30 extra minutes to trips. Lake Scotland confirmed the shut down at Junction 4. A heartland stems from an unsecured load on a heavy goods vehicle, urging everyone to follow. The marked detour. Check the traffic Scotland site for live routes and times, and plan ahead to dodge this gridlock.
