Long delays were experienced by people travelling in parts of Wales on Friday evening as the first day of the school summer holiday began. A vehicle fire led to disruption on the M4 this afternoon.
Two lanes were closed eastbound from junction 25 B4596 Caerleon Road (Caerleon) to junction 24 A449 (Coldra) in Newport.
There was also congestion to the opposite side due to onlookers. That incident has now been cleared.
Other stretches of the motorway were affected by heavy traffic as the school summer holidays begin with a getaway expected as families enjoy the ongoing warm weather.
Elsewhere, the A40 from Salutation Square to Scotchwell roundabout in Haverfordwest was closed due to a crash.
There were also delays on New Hedges in Tenby due to an “incident”.
