Police closed off Bridge Street and Toothill Lane, while parts of the St Peter's Way ring were shut - sparking long tailbacks on the main arteries into the town.
Shops and businesses in the area were also evacuated as a precaution before a controlled explosion was carried out on the package, which police say was not suspicious.
