Drivers face a year and a half of disruption due to a major roadworks project on the Heads of the Valleys road. An eight-mile stretch of the A465 will be closed temporarily for 18 months, with a lengthy diversion route enforced.
The Welsh Government has announced a traffic order for the road which comes into force on Monday, November 7, and will remain in place until May 6, 2024. Get the latest Traffic and Travel news from WalesOnline sent straight to your inbox for free by signing up to our newsletter.
During this period, the road between Brynmawr Roundabout and Abergavenny's Hardwick Roundabout will be subject to a series of "intermittent" and temporary closures. A 25-mile diversion route will also be enforced, over three times longer than the stretch of road that is being closed.
