Starting from March 11, lanes one and two will be closed in both directions overnight between 8pm and 6am, with a host of local diversions in place. 

The work is scheduled to finish on March 28. 

Traffic Wales say: "The works are being carried out overnight in March when traffic flows are historically lower to minimise disruption."
