The M48 Severn Bridge has been closed due to strong gusty winds as Storm Amy hits the UK.

The M48 Severn Bridge has closed in both directions between J1 Aust and J2 Chepstow due to strong winds associated with Storm Amy.

It follows after the area received a yellow wind warning from Met Office which is expected to be in place until 7pm.

All traffic is currently being diverted via the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge which fully open to all traffic.

National Highways said: “If this closure impacts on your planned route, please allow extra journey time. Plan ahead, you may wish to re-route or even delay your journey.
