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.
