<TEXT>A three million pound scheme at Junction 19 of the M5 near Portishead WILL cut congestion - according to initial tests.

That's from North Somerset Council - who've jointly funded the work with the Highways Agency, to install six sets of traffic lights on the approaches to the junction and the roundabout there.

The job - which started in August 2010 - is due to be completed in early April.
