8 January:
Full Westbound closure of the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge (POWB) between M4 J22 – J23
Closure from 21:00 on 8 January to 06:00 on 9 January
Required in order to carry out emergency works to expansion joints on the structure, we will utilise this closure to carry out further maintenance work
Diversion via M48 Severn Bridge using off and on closures at M48 J1 & J2 with traffic signals on the roundabouts to ensure the freight levels remain acceptable
In line with our commitment, during the M4 closure freight will be allowed to use the M48 Severn Bridge as above
Risk of high winds – if the M48 is not available as a diversion route then the closure will not take place. On top of the winds there is a high risk of the lengthier land diversion route being impacted by snow.
