A LANE has been closed on the M4 Severn Bridge.
One lane is closed both ways on the bridge between J1 A403, Aust, and J2 A466, Wye Valley link road.
Strong winds have prompted the closure.
The bridge was closed completely until around 7am, when one lane was opened in each direction. The closure came after Met Office warnings of 70mph winds and heavy rain to last through to the weekend.
