The A48(M) motorway in Wales links Cardiff with Newport. It is a 2-mile-long (3 km) spur of the M4 motorway. At St Mellons, it runs continuously into the dual-carriageway A48, which also has (albeit narrow) hard shoulders. The A48(M) has no other junctions and opened in 1977.[1] The M4 was extended west from junction 29 in 1980.[2]
