A number of roads on the M4 around Newport will be closed this week

There will be a number of road closures on the M4 around Newport this week, with diversions in place.

Four junctions off the M4 will be closed between today, Monday February 1 and Saturday February 6, Traffic Wales has confirmed.

All closures will be overnight from 8pm until 6am the following morning and there will be diversions in place.

The road closures in place this week are:

  • Junction 24 westbound - entry slip
  • Junction 26 Malpas westbound - entry slip
  • Junction 27 High Cross - entry slip
  • Junction 40 Taibach - on/off slip

Take a look at J28 of the M4 in Newport:

In January, the Welsh Government said it would look to "increase capacity" along transport networks near Newport in an attempt to find solutions to traffic congestion issues along the M4.

It comes after the South East Wales Transport Commission recommended in November that six new train stations be built between Cardiff and Newport.

The commission was established to explore possible alternatives to the proposed M4 relief road after the plans were finally scrapped in July 2019.
