Storm Eunice may have already blown through the region, but it has left a trail of damage in its wake which is still affecting key areas and roads across the UK. Many remain without power, the clean-up operation is ongoing, and a key road through Bristol City Centre was closed for the majority of today.
Lewins Mead, the section of road that runs from Broad Quay to the St James Barton roundabout (the Bearpit), was closed by police yesterday afternoon after something fell off a building. Traffic-monitoring site Inrix reported that debris was "falling from a tall building into the road".
First Bus had warned this afternoon that the key route would remain closed "until further notice", with the possibility of the closure lasting until Monday, February 21. However, in an update shared shortly before 5pm, police have since confirmed that it has reopened sooner than expected.
