A BUSY motorway bridge 80,000 Brits use every day has shut in both directions during rush hour.
The M48 Severn Bridge has been closed down due to wind speeds of close to 50mph this morning.

Traffic can still travel between England and Wales by following a diversion using the M5, M50, A40 and A449.
