Highways staff are being abused while trying to keep motorway users safe during Stom Eunice.
Both the M4 Prince of Wales bridge and the M48 Severn Bridge were shut this morning due to the wind speeds caused by the powerful storm. Highways England made the announcement on Twitter at 10.59am and said the closure of the M4 Prince of Wales bridge was necessary due to the wind speeds. The M48 Severn Bridge was already shut by 8am this morning.
The Severn Bridges then wrote on Twitter: "We understand the effect a dual bridge closure has on people wishing to travel. This is an extremely rare event for us. We have staff out in this storm ensuring action is taken to keep road users safe and they are being abused for it. Respectfully, stop. Thank you."
