National Highways have advised that the M4 will be closed between junction 18 and 19 in both directions the evening of Friday 21st March (7pm) and will reopen the morning of Monday 24th March (6am).
The closure is to complete the demolition of the bridge.
National Highways will be using Vehicle Messaging Signs (VMS) at key locations. The VMS will warn road users that certain routes are not suitable and encourage them to use the official diversion. This will be supplemented with their own signs to advise motorists, particularly HGVs, not to use certain routes as they did during the closure last October.
