The westbound stretch of the motorway - one of the major routes into Wales - was shut between junctions 22 and 23.The closure created long tailbacks and left motorists facing 90 minutes of congestion.Firefighters from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service were also on the scene working alongside their colleagues from the West of England to control the fire.
