ALL lanes have now reopened on the M5 northbound after emergency repairs to the carriageway halted traffic.
Traffic cameras show there was queuing traffic between J22 (Burnham-on-Sea) and J23 (Bridgwater North) and queueing traffic on the motorway as lane one of three was closed.
The road reopened at around 3.45pm.
