Following the decision by First Minister Mark Drakeford in 2019 to reject the M4 relief road proposal,[1] up to £1.4bn is available through the Welsh Government's borrowing facility[2] for improving infrastructure in and around the M4. Reopenings in Newport have as a result been again debated.[3] The most recent plan, as of October 2023, envisages the station to be situated adjacent to the Somerton Road bridge, with access from Fairfax Road.[4]
