I’m available

Bout to go to South wales but it says the M4 bridge is closed and I can’t use the M48. Can anyone confirm it’s fully closed or a lane open? I’m sleeping in the lorry tonight if it’s closed :enraged_face::enraged_face::enraged_face::enraged_face:

“What will happen when the Prince of Wales bridge needs to close?

Planned overnight closures

For planned overnight closures of M4 Prince of Wales bridge, we’ll:

  • put additional control measures in place

  • allow HGVs over 7.5t to use the M48 Severn Bridge.

We’ll divert all traffic off the M48 to roundabouts at Junctions 1 and 2. We’ll use traffic management similar to preparation for high winds.

Traffic will then continue onto the M48 bridge from the entry slip roads, where access can be controlled by traffic signals.

Unplanned closures

If there is an unplanned closure of the Prince of Wales bridge, HGVs over 7.5t must follow the official diversion route via the M5 and the M50.

This is a diversion route of approximately 100 miles. ”
