Checked at 08:38 GMT on Tuesday 27 October 2026. This is a dated report, not a live bridge-status service.
At our check, Traffic Scotland's Dornoch Bridge incident entry reported that the A9 crossing was closed to high-sided vehicles because of high winds. The entry covered both directions and was last updated at 05:47 GMT on 27 October. It supplied no reopening time.
The Met Office warning for 27 October remained yellow, with a scheduled end of 21:00 GMT. Its area included much of Scotland and northern parts of Northern Ireland. This article focuses on the Scottish crossing; a weather warning does not by itself describe the status of every road.
Before the removal vehicle leaves
- Check Traffic Scotland's live travel information and the bridge entry again immediately before travelling. Restrictions may change after this article's check.
- Ask your removal company or van provider whether the restriction applies to the vehicle being used. Do not assume that a route available to a car is suitable for your moving vehicle.
- Agree any revised departure, route or delivery arrangements with the company. Confirm possible extra costs before agreeing a change.
- Tell anyone providing keys or access if the arrival time changes. Use our moving-day plan to keep the revised timings in one place, and the moving-day delays guide to organise follow-up calls.
For later journeys
Use current official restrictions and operator advice. The warning's scheduled end is not a promise that the bridge will reopen to a particular vehicle type then.
