DUE to strong winds on the M48 Severn Bridge a 40mph speed limit is in place.
The westbound side of the M48 bridge will stay closed until Wednesday morning for the removal of the tolls.
Narrow lanes and a 50mph speed limit will be in place into early 2019 once it reopens.
Elsewhere the usual traffic is building around Newport, thought to be caused by a combination of Christmas shoppers and the bad weather.
