to get the UK's second toll motorway brought a mixed reaction from hauliers this week,with the Freight Transport Association (FTA) welcoming the benefits of the road, but disliking the toll.
The 14-mile link between Junctions 23 and 29 of the M4 around Newport is expected to cost £350m: construction could start in the next five years.
Ian Gallagher, the FIA's Welsh policy manager, says: -We have to wonder that with two Severn Bridges and now a toll road how much it will cost to get goods into and out of South Wales, and we have to wonder if this is Government just creating another tax on industry."
The proposed route of the Welsh toll road runs through the former Llanwem steelmaking site around the traffic blackspot known as Brynglas Tunnels.
It will be paid for mainly with private money, which the toll is intended to recoup, and is likely to be monitored by satellite tracking.
