Storm Eunice: Full list of all the roads shut in Wales as both Severn bridges close

Storm Eunice is causing major travel disruption across Wales as main roads and both Severn bridges are closed.

Several sections of the M4 have been closed in both directions alongside a number of other busy roads. Most have been closed due to strong winds, while others have been closed because of overturned vehicles and debris from the storm.

Winds of up to 100mph and flood warnings are in place across Wales for the storm on Friday, February 18 causing the closures. The rare red weather warning issued by the Met Office is in place between 7am and 12pm.
