The M4 and main road closures hitting drivers in Wales this week

Here are the details of all road closures affecting the M4, A470 and other main in the coming week (beginning Saturday, February 10), with motorists being warned to avoid the area during closures. Several sections of the road are either fully or partially closed as a result of planned roadworks.

One of the biggest disruptions was expected on Saturday with part of the M4[1] is closed with rugby fans travelling to Twickenham for Wales’ Six Nations[2] clash with England but this was cancelled at the last minute. The road will now be closed from Sunday instead[3].

In an update, Traffic Wales said: “The scheduled works have now been cancelled. The road is now scheduled to be closed at 6am Sunday, February 11 and will reopen 6am, Monday, February 12. We apologise for any inconvenience.”
