Protesters have created huge disruption on the M4 after organising a demonstration calling for a larger reduction in fuel duty.
On Monday morning, the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge was closed in both directions as protesters crawled along the three-lane carriageway from Magor services, across the bridge and back again. Traffic was held and redirected for long periods. Some waiting motorists were spotted playing football on an empty carriageway.
At about 11am, police closed the Prince of Wales Bridge to make several arrests and seize some vehicles involved in the protest. Gwent Police said at 11.50am that it had "fully re-opened" the road.
