The Forth Road Bridge is now open to cars after high winds dropped below 80mph.

Published 1st Feb 2016

The Forth Road Bridge has reopened just to cars, after winds dropped to under 80 miles per hour on the crossing.

It had been closed to all vehicles earlier.

It's as Storm Henry batters Edinburgh, the Lothians and Fife - with winds forecast to peak between 9pm and midnight.

Strong winds are expected to continue well into Tuesday though.

The storm has also forced Scotrail to cancel some services from mid afternoon.

The latest trouble comes just after the country saw off Storm Gertrude, which brought gusts of more than 100mph in places as well as heavy rain and snow.

The Met Office has issued amber "be prepared" alerts for wind.
