THE eastern carriage way of the SDR between the M4 J28 to the Newport Tredegar Park roundabout was temporarily closed for around half an hour this morning due to an overhanging tree branch.
The traffic was able to continue flowing by using one lane of the western carriageway, reducing this to one lane.
After an assessment, Police closed the carriageway fully for around five minutes so that the branch could be cut and allowed to fall into the road.
It fully reopened at 11.45am after workmen chopped it down and cleared the debris.
