Will the Cabinet Minister confirm whether any of the options for further action outlined in the M4 Around Newport Review have been ruled out by the Welsh Government?
Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
As I set out in my Oral Statement on 6 October, no decisions have been taken on any specific interventions for the M4 around Newport. The Welsh Government has commissioned an 18‑month study to examine a range of road-based and engineering solutions in more detail before identifying a preferred option.
In the meantime, we are taking forward the programme of improvements announced on 6 October, including continued investment in the renewal and maintenance of the existing motorway and strategic road network, potential improvements to how the motorway is operated and managed around Newport, measures to improve freight resilience, and continued investment in public transport alternatives.
All potential interventions, including measures within the 5‑year programme, will be subject to further development, analysis and engagement with local authorities, stakeholders and communities before any decisions on implementation are taken.
