National Highways confirmed that the motorway was full reopened at 2pm.


Traffic has been stopped in both directions on the M4 in Wiltshire.

Emergency services were called to a lorry fire halfway between junctions 15 (Swindon) and 14 (Hungerford) at around 10.15am this morning (Wednesday, 28 September).

Firefighters are currently battling the flames, which have created a plume of smoke across the carriageways – resulting in the M4’s temporary closure.

A spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said: “Please be aware that the M4 is closed in both directions near J15 due to a lorry fire.

“Drivers are advised to seek alternative routes while emergency services attend the ongoing incident.

“We will provide updates once the motorway has reopened.”
