Sandra Duffy said: “There is an ongoing security alert on the Skeoge Road Link after a suspicious object was found earlier today.
“The road is now closed and there will be significant disruption for drivers on this busy road.
“I would urge people to follow the advice of police and to avoid this area at this time and use alternative routes.“
