M4 upgrade dropped due to cost

Apparently the Welsh Assembly Government has dropped plans for a £1bn upgrade of the congested M4 and a new link road to Cardiff Airport.

There will only be simple junction and carriageway improvements on the M4, rather than major new capacity, given the prohibitive economic and environmental costs, according to Ieuan Wyn Jones (the Welsh Minister for Economy and Transport).
