River Crossings expected to be closed due to the Severe Gales Alert

Throughout tomorrow morning, both Severn crossings, the Orwell bridge, and QE2 bridge (Dartford) are expected to be closed due to the Severe Gales Alert currently in place.

Drivers are advised to plan for their journey before they set out, checking the forecast and road conditions, to leave extra time if travel conditions are poor and to delay their journey if the weather becomes severe.

M48 | Severn Bridge | Strong Winds | Road closed in both directions

The M48 Severn Crossing is closed in both directions between J1 and J2, due to strong winds.

Road users travelling to and from Wales may wish to consider using the M4 (the second Severn Crossing) as an alternative route.

Pleasant enough ride through Chepstow, etc. :slight_smile:
