Major Police Incident Forces Prolonged Closure of M48 Motorway in Monmouthshire

A stretch of the M48 motorway in Monmouthshire is set to be closed for “several hours” following a police incident that occurred on Monday morning, July 31.

The closure is in effect between J2 Newhouse and J23 Rogiet, as confirmed by Traffic Wales at approximately 5:00 am.

However, authorities expect the motorway to remain closed for a few hours, and as a result, motorists are encouraged to seek alternative routes to reach their destinations.

They tweeted, “The M48 is closed in both directions between Junction 2 Newhouse Roundabout and Junction 23 of the M4.

Diversions are in place, which may cause congestion. Please avoid the area if possible and find alternative routes for your journey.”
