M5 motorway drivers were caught in miles of queues between Burnham-On-Sea and Bridgwater on Friday (February 21st) while emergency repair work was carried out.
One lane was closed northbound between Bridgwater and Burnham-On-Sea to allow for roadworks in the area.
National Highways maps showed slow moving traffic for six miles. There was also heavy congestion between junctions between junctions 23 and 22 on the northbound carriageway, causing delays of around 35 minutes in the area. The repairs were completed during the late afternoon.
