Newport Bus routes affected include 27, 29 and 29A.

Traffic remains heavy in the area from the earlier collision.

Traffic is starting to clear, albeit slightly.

Some traffic remains in the area, though this is more likely attributable to peak hour commuting rather than the earlier collision.

Traffic has cleared considerably.

As the traffic issues have resolved, we will now be ending this blog.

Thank you for following and we hope you have a pleasant evening.
