Of course next weekend is the Jacks game and I believe they are doing work on the tunnel again

any other route to avoid Newport ? ? ? and Coldra roundabout

Chepstow, A466

Usk

pontypool

Blackwood

Ponypridd

Taffs Well

But is that detour too big and will take too long

any other routes ? ?
Going West - come off at junction 25 take slip road to Cwmbrân then follow signs to M4 get back on jct. 26

Going East - come off jct 26 follow signs to Caerleon get back on at jct 25. Simple.
