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 motorway. 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]
