M4 closures from M32 to M5 2 March - 25 April

If only Highways England and the Council could co-ordinate what they are doing. Just when Gypsy Patch Bridge works have closed the Beacon Lane / Gypsy Patch east west route, the M4 is going to be closed too from the M32 to M5 - so the A4174 will be the key route..... Thankfully the motorway closure is only night time. 

Here is the Highways England M4 resurfacing scheme announcement. 

We have been advised of disruption on the M4 in our area from Monday 2 March to Saturday 25 April. Highways England will be carrying out resurfacing of the eastbound carriageway between Junction 19 (M32) and 20 (M5) and overnight road closures and lane closures will be in place throughout the works. 

The details below have been provided by Highways England, which is responsible for the motorways, and further inquiries will need to be directed to them.
