For those caught in the congestion, checking traffic apps such as Waze, Google Maps, or ViaMichelin can provide up-to-date information on traffic conditions and help plan alternative routes. Motorists can also consider using local roads or taking a break to avoid further delays. However, it is essential to note that roadworks and traffic incidents can be unpredictable, and drivers are advised to remain vigilant and follow all traffic signs and instructions from highway authorities.

The Welsh Government has confirmed that they are working closely with local authorities and emergency services to manage the situation and minimise disruptions. Motorists are advised to leave plenty of time for their journeys and to consider the impact of the congestion on their travel plans. With the expected end time approaching 6:42 pm, drivers are urged to monitor traffic updates and adjust their routes accordingly.
