Tay Road Bridge has been reopened to cars.
The bridge has also reopened for single decker buses.
But it remains closed to other high-sided vehicles and pedestrians.
It had been closed for around 11 hours on Friday after wind gusts of 102mph were recorded on the bridge.
Gusty winds from Storm Eowyn have caused disruption across Dundee and Fife, and the road link was also disrupted.

A post on X by the Tay Road Bridge at 9.32pm said: “High winds – BRIDGE OPEN TO CARS AND SINGLE DECKERS ONLY – 30 mph speed restriction in place. CENTRAL WALKWAY CLOSED.”
An earlier post when the bridge was closed had said: “Winds are currently in the high 90s with one reading recorded at 102.2 mph.
Tay Road Bridge’s policy is to close the crossing when wind speeds exceed 80mph.
Here is our guide to the rules on wind closures for both the Tay and Queensferry crossings.
