🚦🚗 Traffic Chaos on M5 Near Bristol! 🚗🚦
Heads up, Bristol drivers! 🚨 A protest has sparked long delays this Friday morning. If you’re heading near the M5 or A369, brace yourself for some serious queues, especially around junctions 18, 19, Portbury, and Portishead.
Reports indicate the demonstration, believed to be spearheaded by farmers, is in full swing near the Bristol Port. They’re voicing concerns over “cheap lower standard imports and inheritance tax”—a sentiment shared with fellow farmers making noise at the Port of Felixstowe today.
📍 National Highways has flagged congestion on the M5’s exit slips, and the scene is causing a ripple effect 🚦 stretching to the M5 southbound near the M49 Interchange.
Local authorities are on-site, trying to manage the situation. Police are advising drivers to allocate extra time for their journeys and consider alternative routes if possible.
Stay safe, and stay tuned for updates! 📢 If you’re caught up in this, patience is key. Let’s hope for a swift resolution!
