Major motorway used by thousands of drivers every day hit with SIX MONTHS of closures
A MAJOR motorway used by thousands of drivers every day will be severely affected by six months of closures, with motorists urged to check their route. Disruption is expected on the M4 between junctions 37 and 38 near Pyle, Wales, for half a year beginning on June 9. 2 The road works are to 'ensure the safety and long-term resilience of the motorway'. The measures being undertaken to ensure safety and deterioration of the road involve refurbishing five bridges. During the works, the motorway will remain open but with just two running lanes in both directions for the duration of the repairs. Lane closures will be limited to overnight only and will be clearly signposted in advance. Speed restrictions will also be in place temporarily, to ensure both driver and worker safety. Ken Skates, the cabinet secretary for transport and North Wales, said: "Fixing and maintaining our roads and making them more resilient is a priority for us. "I understand the works will cause disruption and I'd like to thank motorists for their patience whilst the work is taking place, however it is important it is carried out during periods of drier and warmer weather to ensure it can be done effectively.' The work, lasting six months, is due to be carried out in four main phases. So far, only information has been issued for the preparatory work and phase one by the Welsh Government. The initial preparatory work will set up the contraflow system. 'Hundreds' of drivers abandon their cars to play football on closed UK motorway Starting on June 9 at 8pm and continuing overnight until 6am on June 10 the westbound section will be closed between J37 Pyle to J39 Groes. Then from 8pm on June 10 to 6am June 12 both directions will be closed overnight for two night between J37 and J39. From 8pm on June 12 to 6am the next day, the westbound section will be closed for one night between the same junctions. The eastbound section will then be closed overnight for two nights from June 13 at 8pm to June 15 at 6am between J38 Margam to J37 Pyle. Phase one – involves work on the central reservation. June 15 starting at 6am – July 16. Central reserve works with traffic flow reduced from three lanes to two lanes in each direction. A 50mph speed limit will be operating. Further details on later phases of works will be published closer to the time. Night time full closures in both directions will be required in order to install and alter the traffic management measures. The main works will predominantly be undertaken during daytime. During the phases, no diversion route will be necessary with all traffic and junctions 37 and 38 will still operate. During the isolated full closures to install traffic management measures, a diversion route will be in force using the A4229 and A48. Westbound, traffic will be directed off the M4 at Junction 37 and via the A4229 and A48, re-joining the M4 at junction 39. 2

Hugely popular Eryri quarry to close for rumoured return of House of the Dragon filming
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A popular slate quarry in Gwynedd is to close for two weeks in mid June to accommodate filming for a major HBO TV series. Security guards will be posted around Dinorwig quarry near Llanberis for the rumoured return of House of the Dragon (HoTD) production crews. A key parking area – often overwhelmed by the quarry's surging popularity – will also be closed off, though only for four days. Site preparation starts next week and a casting call has been issued for 'rugged men' with 'good facial hair'. In a letter to local residents, location manager Matthew Pyle said scenes planned for Dinorwig include 'extras in armour, horses, special effects and various props'. A second, shorter spell of filming is also scheduled at the quarry later in June. As the same crew filmed there in 2023, it's widely assumed the quarry is again standing in as a HoTD backdrop as Harrenhal Castle, the largest fortification in the fictional country of Westeros. Location company Cross Plains Production also facilitated HoTD filming for season two of the hit fantasy drama, much of it in North Wales. Season three of the Game of Thrones prequel began filming at Leavesden Studios, Watford, on March 31, ahead of moving outdoors as the weather improves. Apologising in advance for the expected disruption, Mr Pyle said: 'We will make every endeavour to minimise our impact on local residents and businesses; however we accept our presence won't go unnoticed. We appreciate that Dinorwig Quarry is a well-loved location by the community and by the tourists it attracts.' Site preparation starts on Monday, May 12. This continues until Monday, June 9. Filming then gets underway the following day, Tuesday, June 10, and continues until Friday, June 13. Site reinstatement begins immediately, on Saturday, June 14, and continues until Friday, June 20. Sign up now for the latest news on the North Wales Live Whatsapp community (Image: Carwyn Vaughan) As early prep work may include site surveys, the initial presence of production staff may be unnoticeable. The main impacts will be felt in June with the closure of the quarry footpath and the road by the Allt Ddu bus terminus. This, said Mr Pyle, is to 'ensure safety during filming.' The road will be shut from Monday, June 9, until Friday, June 13. The footpath closure is longer – from Monday, June 2, until Monday, June 17. Another filming day is set for Thursday, June 26. This will also involve a 'few days' either side for preparation and site reinstatement Mr Pyle said: 'Our filming will mean there is an increase in traffic and crew in the area, both during filming and in the weeks of preparation and reinstatement on either side. 'To facilitate our work, we plan to use both entrances to the quarry – the bottom Nant Peris entrances and the top Bus Terminus entrance.' (Image: John Horrigan) During the production, the site team will be working with ENGIE/First Hydo, Cyngor Gwynedd, Parc Padarn and Cadw - to 'ensure our activities are carried out responsibly'. More precise details of the arrangements will be confirmed nearer the date. Season two HoTD locations in North Wales also included Trefor in Gwynedd; Llanddwyn beach and Penmon Point on Anglesey; and Penmachno Roman Bridge in Conwy. Activity by casting agents suggests that parts of Gwynedd will again be standing in for Westeros in Season Three. Extras are needed for a 'major TV series' being filmed on the county's north coastline in June and July. Specifically, they must be 'rugged men' aged 18-50 with 'good facial hair and longer hair". They must not have "modern haircuts such as short back and sides'. Shepperton Studios-based Extra People said: 'This is an active role that will demand physical endurance for long filming hours outside. No experience needed! 'You must be an early riser, have your own vehicle and have a great work ethic. Please apply now and tell your friends!' Rates of pay are around £150-£300 per day depending on hours worked.
