As a result, the road will be closed between 9pm and 6am from tonight until Saturday morning.
  • M48 Eastbound, Junction 2-1: While people returning to Wales from England will need to use the old Severn Crossing this week, anyone going the other way will have no choice but to use the Prince of Wales Bridge.
