A CARRIAGEWAY on the M4 will be closed tonight (Wednesday) until the early hours of Thursday, according to a highway operative. The closure will also take place on Thursday night and Friday night.
National Highways has announced that a carriageway will be closed on the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge later tonight (Wednesday, April 17, 2024).
Between 10pm and 6am on the M4 Westbound Junctions 22 - 23, a carriageway will be closed for maintenance.
A diversion will be in place via the M48 Severn Bridge.
On the closure, the National Highways said: "We understand that these closures cause disruption to road users and local communities, and we’re striving to keep the bridges open as often as we can.
"Our work isn’t always visible. We may be carrying out repairs underneath the road surface, or waiting for construction materials to dry or set before continuing our work."
