Work to carry out a full bridge deck refurbishment to the M4 Maes Y Gwernen Overbridge will commence on 18 July for six weeks.
South Wales Trunk Road Agent will be conducting a full bridge deck refurbishment
programme to maintain the bridge’s structural integrity. Maes Y Gwernen overbridge is a high priority on the Welsh Government half- joint bridge management strategy programme.
We will need a full road closure to carry out the bridge refurbishment under safe
working conditions for our workforce.
It is not feasible to carry out the waterproofing and resurfacing works, under lane closures. We will require access to the full deck area for practical enabling of the works and workforce safety.
SWTRA will start the scheme under a single eastbound two-week footpath closure, which will maintain two lanes of traffic. And then a full road closure during the school summer holidays.
The dates are as follows:
Single eastbound footpath closure - Starting 7th of July to 18th of July.
Full road closure - Starting 18th of July to 29th of August.
