Progress on proposals for a Llandeilo bypass or road diversion scheme appear to still be in the slow lane. The Welsh Government had expected to recommend a preferred option last autumn, and then when that didn't happen, in the winter.
There was a shortlist of four options: three featuring a bypass which would skirt the east of Llandeilo; one incorporating traffic lights and the removal of parking in Llandeilo's Rhosmaen Street, which runs through the town centre.

Many residents and businesses have argued for years that Bridge Street and Rhosmaen Street - the narrow road Bridge Street becomes - were not suitable for the heavy traffic which trundles along it. Lorries frequently have to slow to a crawl in order to pass one another. Llandeilo is also a designated air quality management area due to historic breaches in nitrogen dioxide levels.
