Don’t get caught out- check before you travel and allow extra time for your journey.

Traffic increases by approximately 15% on the M4 near Cardiff during international events. Planned roadworks over the coming months could also mean the roads are busier.

Why are you doing these works now?

These works are essential for the safety of the travelling public. The failure to do them now could result in further unplanned closures in the future.

Where it is safe to do so, roadworks will be lifted or suspended to minimise disruption during special events.

There may be times when you will see cones, signs and a reduced speed limit in force but no-one appears to be working. This is because works may be happening underneath the road, or the safety barrier or the carriageway may be affected which makes it temporarily unsafe to re-open the road.
