Severn Bridge open but restrictions in place due to high winds
DUE to continued strong winds the M48 Severn Bridge still has driving restrictions in place.
#M48 Bridge - Due to a risk of wind speeds increasing overnight and into tomorrow, we have now implemented and OFF and ON closure on both sides of the bridge. Please drive carefully.

The restrictions apply to Junction 2 at the A466 Wye Valley Link Road (Chepstow) and Junction 1 at the A403 (Aust).
Drivers should be aware that the bridge itself is still open, but the off and on closures remain in place due to risk of high winds.
@ladybellabarlow Hi, Yes the bridge is currently open, if this changes we will update our main feed.
