When was the M4 between junction 45 and 46 last resurfaced?

Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change | Answered on 03/05/2023

The M4 carriageway between junction 45 and 46 was last fully resurfaced with hot rolled asphalt in March 1996.

Hot rolled asphalt has a longer durability and serviceable life than other commonly used surfacing materials.

South Wales Trunk Road Agent (SWTRA) regularly inspects this section of the M4 and repairs carriageway safety-related defects as and when they arise.
