A SWAN on the road at the M4/M5 Almondsbury interchange closed a lane while the Highways Agency attempted to clear the way.
Agency officers worked alongside the RSPCA to rescue the Swan, with police also in attendance.
The closure on the eastbound carriageway also resulted in slow traffic while speed restriction was put in place.
Efforts by the groups were successful, with the swan being rescued.
