Officers from Traffic Wales initially dealt with the incident but the sheep soon made their way back onto the road. Officers then spent the next hour trying catch the sheep, before eventually taking them off the carriageway in their vehicle.
Long delays built up in both directions, before the road finally reopened at around 9.45am.
