M48 Severn Bridge to close this weekend for 'essential maintenance'

The M48 Severn Bridge will be closed this weekend for essential maintenance, National Highways has said. It will be closed for a total of 46 hours for repair works to be carried out on the carriageway.

The work is set to begin this Saturday (March 5), and National Highways says that the required work will be done in multiple phases "to ensure minimal disruption to motorists". Drivers will be diverted over the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge while the work is taking place.

The agency apologised for the inconvenience that will be caused to motorists, and advised drivers to plan ahead and leave a bit of extra time for their journeys.
