The Met Office have published an amber weather warning for Friday 24 January 2025 and have named this period of adverse weather Storm Eowyn.
A55 Britannia Bridge
It is possible that the bridge will need to close from 7am until 12pm on Friday 24 January 2025 as the current forecast indicates wind speed over the 70mph closure threshold. Please note this information is based on the latest weather forecasts and could change.
Lane closures have been put place in both directions on the 22 January 2025 to support any potential full closure. This needs to be done in advance because it’s not possible to deploy this traffic management safely when wind speeds are over 70mph.
Discover how traffic is managed during high winds on Britannia Bridge to help keep road users safe.
Highways
Highways staff remain on standby and will be called into action as and when required.
