M4 closure as work to Badminton Road Bridge nears completion

A stretch of a motorway is to be closed as work to a new bridge nears completion.

The M4 will be closed in both directions overnight between junction 18 (Bath) and junction 19 (M32) from Monday 5 January to Saturday 10 January.

The closure, which will be in place from 20:00 GMT to 06:00 GMT, will allow work to the sides of the A432 Badminton Road Bridge, which crosses the motorway, and the removal of concrete casings.

Sean Walsh, Route Manager for National Highways, thanked local residents and drivers “for their continued patience”.
