Forth Road Bridge has reopened



    The Forth Road Bridge has reopened after the recovery of a lorry which was blown over in high winds.

    The bridge operators said all restrictions on traffic were lifted at about 9pm last night.
   The lorry was blown from the northbound carriageway onto the southbound side yesterday.
     The bridge was officially closed to HGVs at the time. A 54-year-old man has been charged with dangerous driving.
   The lorry was earlier hauled upright by a crane after being disentangled from the barrier.
   It was removed from the north end of the bridge shortly, following delays to the recovery operation caused by strong gusts of wind.
