The bridge across the Mawddach Estuary at Barmouth has been struck by a YACHT. Closure can be expected until at least 1000 tomorrow as it will cannot be inspected until daylight. Road transport will be in place between Barmouth and Tywyn via a circuitous route via Fairbourne and expected to increase journey time by approx 60 mins. . Shuttle buses will run between Barmouth and Tywyn and some extended to Pwllheli if required. An RNLI lifeboat is in attendance and the incident was reported to Network Rail by the Coastguard.

Further details. The yacht involved was a 25ft Fisher type craft which broke away from it's moorings in strong winds and high tides. The 1000 earliest estimate for re-opening has been updated to "until further notice". Any inspection, after daylight, will depend also on tidal levels and a Marine diver to go down and inspect.
