Warning issued after motorway pothole repair
A National Highways spokesperson confirmed a team was deployed to make "emergency repairs" to the road

All lanes on a motorway bridge have now re-opened, after a large pothole caused two lanes to close.
Delays had previously built up on the M5's northbound carriageway between J19 for Portishead and J18 for the M49.
National Highways has urged motorists to allow extra time for journeys, as there may still be "long delays on approach" to Avonmouth Bridge.
Earlier, drivers faced delays of 60 minutes and six miles of congestion.
