As the final closure of the M25 in Surrey gets underway this evening (Friday), another full motorway closure also comes into effect near Bristol.
The M4 will be closed in both directions between Junction 18 for Bath and 19 for the M32 to demolish the A432 Badminton Road Bridge.
The closure lasts from 7pm on Friday to 6am Monday.
National Highways says that, with 3,000 to 4,000 vehicles using this section of the M4 every hour over peak weekend periods the closure is likely to cause substantial disruption, and drivers are advised, where possible, to avoid the area and plan journeys for alternative times.
