The M48 Severn Bridge will be closed tonight (Thursday, October 11).

It will be closed westbound from 7pm until 6am on Friday.

The closure will allow essential resurfacing work to be carried out.

Diversions will be in place via the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge but drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journey.

Last week the M4 Prince of Wales Bridge was closed for two nights of essential maintenance work.
