M4 motorway Usk bridge, Highway bridge spanning River Usk in Newport, Wales.
The M4 motorway Usk bridge consists of two parallel structures, each measuring 450 feet in length with five spans of reinforced concrete construction.
Construction of the M4 motorway Usk bridge started in September 1962, leading to its completion and integration into the Newport bypass section in 1967.
The bridge represents a major transportation link in Wales, connecting communities and supporting the economic development of Newport and surrounding regions.
Regular maintenance includes repairs to thrust hinge joints, ensuring the bridge deck maintains flexibility while accommodating heavy traffic flow between England and Wales.
The bridge leads directly into the Brynglas Tunnels on its westbound route, creating a continuous transport corridor through Newport's urban landscape.
