CLACKS commuters are facing disruption on the roads today, as Traffic Scotland announced restrictions on multiple bridges in the area.

Traffic Scotland announced the Clackmannanshire Bridge was closed to all vehicles from 12pm until 4pm today. 

However, it appears this has been ammended, with the bridge now only closed to high sided vehicles between 11am and 6pm - with a 30mph speed limit in place for other vehicles. 

Similarly, Kincardine Bridge was listed as being closed to all vehicles today between 12pm and 4pm.

However, this also appears to have been ammended, being closed only to high sided vehicles and with 30mph speed restrictions in place for other vehicles. 

The Forth Bridges Twitter account told commuters: "Queensferry Crossing is currently closed to high sided and wind susceptible vehicles, but is not expected to close to cars or single deck buses. Forth Road Bridge is expected to remain closed to all for most of today."

However, bridge closures are likely to change throughout the day.

Trains out of Alloa have also been cancelled with ScotRail warning against all non-essential travel.

A spokesperson said: The Met Office has issued an amber weather warning for high winds and heavy rain.

"Storm Ali is having a severe impact on Scotlands railway infrastructure, particularly in the Central Belt.

"The storm has caused major line blockages for example a number of trees have fallen onto the line - and overheard wires have been damaged.

"This has resulted in the suspension of a number of our routes.

"Network Rail engineers are working flat out to get things back to normal, and ScotRail is doing everything it can to keep people moving.

"But services will be severely impacted for the rest of the day.

"Ticket acceptance is in place with bus operators across many parts of the country, and we are working to get buses in place to replace trains on some routes.

"Our advice to customers is not to travel unless it's essential. Please check your journey before considering travelling."
