A good few years off yet, but this is going to have a massive impact on the area.

In December 2004 the Welsh Assembly Government announced that the New M4 Magor to Castleton Project could be ready to start by April 2010, subject to completion of statutory procedures and availability of funds.
The new dual 3-lane motorway will be 15 miles (24 km) long, linking Junction 23A at Magor and Junction 29 at Castleton. The route crosses the Gwent Levels, including several Sites of Special Scientific Interest (or SSSIs), so great care will be taken to minimise the effects on the SSSIs by using previous industrial land where feasible.
