The Economy Secretary said that while he was pleased to see that work to improve the vital stretch of road was on course and due to complete by early 2018, his visit had only served to highlight that maintaining the current stretch of motorway would not provide the long term traffic solution urgently needed for this section of the M4 . 

Economy Secretary Ken Skates said: 


> “This is a vital stretch of road which sees at least 75,000 vehicles pass through it every day.  The tunnels were only temporarily repaired following a fire in 2011 and are now also undergoing essential drainage, carriageway, lighting, mechanical and electrical improvements. 
> 
> “The Welsh Government has invested £40 million pounds in this current work to bring the tunnels up to standards and I’m delighted that the work is progressing so well.
> 
> “The overnight timing of the work has been designed to ensure repairs are carried out as safely and quickly as reasonably possible, with minimal possible disruption to road users. This means having contractors working through the night, five days a week and my thanks goes to them for the their important work to ensure that the tunnels are safe and fit for purpose.
> 
> “Whilst maintaining and improving the current infrastructure is clearly essential, there is no question that this alone will not resolve the wider congestion issues on the M4 around Newport.
> 
> “We’ve made a clear commitment to delivering a sustainable solution to the continuing traffic problems on the M4 around Newport and communities and businesses can be re\-assured that, subject to inquiry approval, this long term solution will be delivered in 2021\.”

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd yr Economi, er ei fod yn falch o weld bod y gwaith o wella’r rhan hollbwysig hon o’r ffordd i ddod i ben erbyn dechrau 2018, roedd ei ymweliad wedi cadarnhau na fyddai cynnal a chadw y rhan hon o’r draffordd yn rhoi’r ateb hirdymor i’r broblem drafnidiaeth sydd ei angen ar fyrder ar gyfer y rhan hon o’r M4\.  

Meddai Ken Skates, Ysgrifennydd yr Economi:  


> “Dyma ran hollbwysig o’r ffordd, ac mae o leiaf 75,000 o gerbydau yn teithio arni bob dydd.  Cafodd y twneli eu trwsio dros dro yn dilyn tân yn 2011 ac maent bellach yn cael eu gwella o ran draenio hanfodol, gwella’r ffordd, y goleuo a gwelliannau mecanyddol a thrydanol.  
> 
> “Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi buddsoddi £40 miliwn o bunnoedd yn y gwaith hwn o wella’r twneli, ac rwy’n falch iawn bod y gwaith yn mynd rhagddo cystal.  
> 
> “Mae’r gwaith dros nos wedi ei gynllunio i sicrhau bod modd gwneud y gwaith trwsio mor ddiogel a chyflym â phosib, gyda cyn lleied â phosib o darfu ar ddefnyddwyr y ffordd.  Golyga hyn bod contractwyr yn gweithio drwy’r nos, bum diwrnod yr wythnos ac rwy’n ddiolchgar iddynt am eu gwaith pwysig o sicrhau bod y twneli hyn yn ddiogel ac yn addas at y pwrpas.  
> 
> “Er ei bod yn amlwg yn hanfodol i gynnal a gwella’r seilwaith presennol, nid oes amheuaeth na fydd hynny ohono ei hun yn datrys y problemau ehangach o dagfeydd ar yr M4 ger Casnewydd.  
> 
> “Rydym wedi ymrwymo’n glir i ddarparu ateb cynaliadwy i’r problemau traffig parhaus ar yr M4 ger Casnewydd a dylai cymunedau a busnesau gael y sicrwydd, yn amodol ar gymeradwyaeth yr ymchwiliad, y dylai’r ateb hirdymor hwn i’r broblem gael ei gyflawni yn 2021\."
