Drivers have been warned they face delays as a well-used bridge that goes over the M4 is being closed from 7pm today (July 12). National Highways said the A432 Badminton Road M4 overbridge between Bristol and Yate will be closed while workers assess the structural safety of the bridge.
A recent inspection has revealed accelerated deterioration and cracking to the South East underside of the bridge, National Highways said. As a result, a full structural assessment will now be made.
Until the investigation is complete, National Highways said it will remain closed to motorists, with diversion routes being set up. It will stay open as normal to pedestrians and cyclists though.
