Bridge linking Wales and England partly reopens - but will shut again if it gets too hot (opens original article in a new tab)

A historic bridge linking Wales and England has partially reopened but could close again in extreme weather, following engineering concerns about its structural safety.

• The 210-year-old Old Wye Bridge between Wales and England partially reopens to pedestrians and cyclists but may close again in extreme temperatures.
• Local authorities will conduct a Category III structural check to determine if the bridge can be fully reopened, with ongoing monitoring for safety.
• Residents have mixed reactions, with some appreciating the bridge's historical value and others preferring its closure due to noise and pollution from vehicles.
