POLICE are warning HGV drivers not to attempt any crossing of the Silver Jubilee Bridge during high winds.

Although the crossing remains open to ordinary traffic it has now been closed to high sided vehicles due to what police said is a “serious risk”.

A police spokesman, said: “It appears some high sided vehicles are still trying to cross the bridge and we would appeal to them to find another route.

“Police are now in place on the bridge so they will not be allowed to cross.”
