The M4 westbound delays through Newport have cleared, junction 24 to junction 26
This notice has ended. It was last checked on Sun 6 Sept, 01:34 and is kept for the record.
The M4 was congested westbound through Newport, between junction 24 at Coldra and junction 26 at Malpas, through Thursday afternoon and evening. Traffic Wales first published the alert at 15:38 on Thursday and rated the hold-up as moderate. It said delays were possible and expected the road to clear by the end of the day. The alert was still live when this desk re-read it at 18:34.
Traffic Wales published no cause, no diversion and no clearance time beyond the end of Thursday. There is no quick alternative: the A48 runs roughly parallel through Newport but takes traffic through the city rather than around it. A second alert, on the A4232 northbound between the A48 interchange and M4 junction 33 at Capel Llanilltern west of Cardiff, was published at 15:36 and Traffic Wales marked it clear at 18:21.
Update, 12:50 on Friday 4 September: alert 594094 no longer appears on the Traffic Wales road traffic alerts list, checked at 12:50. Traffic Wales has published no separate all clear, and gave no time for when the alert came down. This brief has been put into the past tense.
