Wales "cut off" as both Severn Bridges close
Storm Eunice continues to wreak havoc on road and rail links across Wales as we are warned to stay indoors during dangerously high winds
Last updated 18th Feb 2022
BOTH major crossings between England and Wales are CLOSED due to high winds
Its thought to be the first time both routes into and out of Wales have been closed.
Wind speeds from Storm Eunice mean both the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge and M48 Severn Bridge are closed to all traffic .
Drivers are being urged to stay away.
No trains will operate in Wales for the entire day.
That means Great Western Railway services from London Paddington are terminating at Bristol Parkway instead of continuing to Swansea.
We've been getting updates throughout the day of roads being shut by fallen trees and high-sided vehicles being blown over.
The advice remains to only travel if its essential.
