Armed police have blocked off the Selwyn River Bridge in Glentunnel - with a silver bus parked in the middle.
Local Richard Dawson says the man on the bus was extremely agitated - and threatening it was full of explosives.
Dawson says he helped make the scene safe - before police arrived.
He says he got the crowd off the bridge - and got a couple of truckers to block it off at each end.
Motorists are urged to follow the direction of emergency staff.
