The Welsh government has announced a series of proposals aimed at tackling congestion on Welsh roads, including plans for closures at M4 junctions and a new bridge across the Menai Strait.
The proposals also include a fresh examination of the case for building a new motorway in Wales. The government said the measures form part of a wider response to congestion affecting the country’s road network.
No further details of the affected M4 junctions, the proposed location or timetable for the new Menai bridge, or the scope of the motorway review were provided in the announcement. The latest proposals indicate that the Welsh government is considering a combination of changes to existing routes and possible new infrastructure as it develops its approach to road congestion.
