### M4 Traffic Alert: Dual Closure as Emergency Services Respond
Traffic is rapidly increasing on the M4 as emergency services address a serious incident. The motorway is closed in both directions between Junction 17 (Chippenham) and Junction 18 (Bath).
This closure has prompted an immediate response from emergency personnel, including Wiltshire Police, who are currently on site. "The M4 in Wiltshire is closed in both directions between J17 (Chippenham) and J18 (Bath) due to a Police-led incident," stated National Highways. "Emergency services including Wiltshire Police are in attendance. National Highways Traffic Officers are also on scene to assist with traffic management."
Motorists are advised to seek alternative routes as traffic congestion is expected to escalate. Further updates will be provided as the situation develops, and information on the reopening of the motorway will be communicated once available.
