M1: Motorway closed due to suspicious package on bridge

Drivers face major delays on the M1 in South Yorkshire after the discovery of a suspicious package on a footbridge over the motorway.

National Highways said both carriageways remain closed between J36 (Tankersley) and J37 (Barnsley) because of a "police-led incident".

There were delays of up to 90 minutes in the area on Monday evening.
