THE M4 is closed between J28 and J24 due to a car fire and smoke in the Brynglas Tunnels.
Six fire engines from Malpas, Maindee, Dyffryn and Cwmbran are at the scene.
Diversions are in place via the A48 SDR. Eastbound traffic from Swansea is recommended to use the A465 J43 (Llandarcy) or the A470 J32 (Coryton).
Westbound traffic approaching Wales is advised to head North on the M5 to the M50
There are no estimates as to how long the road will be closed as recovery and also a structural survey will have to take place.
