Severn Bridge re-opens after demonstration
The Severn Bridge has reopened after protesters blocked the westbound carriageway.
Eyewitnesses say protesters blocking the Second Severn Crossing westbound were holding up a Kurdish flag. They say about 15 people were taking part in the demonstration which is being dealt with by Gwent Police. In October 2014 Kurds from Wales staged a similar protest over the so-called Islamic State.
Gwent Police says the bridge is now open. Protesters were moved to the side of the carriageway by the tolls.
