Travellers between Wales and England face disruption from tomorrow as both the M4 Severn Bridge and Severn rail tunnel will close for repairs.
Trains between south Wales and Bristol, London and England’s south coast will be affected by the Severn Tunnel’s 16-day closure between Wednesday 3 July and Friday 19 July.
Drivers are warned the M4’s Prince of Wales Bridge, which opened 28 years ago last month, will be shut westbound overnight on Monday 8 July, Tuesday 9 July and Saturday 20 July.
The new bridge will also close eastbound on Wednesday and Thursday 10 and 11 July – although the original M48 Severn Bridge will remain open when its sister crossing is closed.
Road closures will be in place in Chepstow on Friday night when Shania Twain plays at Chepstow Race Course after her Legends performance at Glastonbury last weekend. Tom Jones will be at the racecourse on Saturday.
