THE sliproad remains closed

A MOTORWAY sliproad is under going emergency repairs after an accident earlier this morning damaged a bridge.

It happened early this morning on the M4 J25A A4042 exit near Newport.

The crash was quickly cleared, with little delay to traffic, but one lane has been shut all day.

Now traffic monitors have reported that the accident means emergency repairs need to be carried out on the bridge.

Traffic Wales have been contacted for comment.
