THE ROAD HAS NOW RE-OPENED FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT.
A "POLICE incident" on the M8 near Glasgow Airport has closed the motorway in both directions.
Drivers can expect delays on the motorway near junction 27 Paisley on Tuesday morning.
Traffic Scotland first reported the incident at around 6.14am and they issued an update at 7.11am that the incident was cleared.
However, they have said commuters will still face "very lengthy" delays as traffic returns to normal.
