The M48 Severn Bridge has been closed to all traffic due to dangerous high wind conditions. Authorities made the decision to shut down the busy route to ensure public safety as gusts reached levels that pose significant risks to vehicles crossing the bridge.
Previously, plans to close the nearby Prince of Wales Bridge were scrapped, but the M48 Severn Bridge remains closed until conditions improve. Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes and stay updated on the situation through official channels. The closure highlights the impact of severe weather on critical transport links, especially those spanning large bodies of water.
Authorities are closely monitoring the weather, and the bridge will reopen once it is deemed safe for traffic. Travelers are encouraged to exercise caution and plan accordingly during this period of disruption.
