Responses to a consultation about a long-awaited Llandeilo bypass or diversion scheme are still being considered by the Welsh Government. A recommendation on a preferred route was due to be made by the autumn, but it's now expected to be over the winter.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: "We are considering public and stakeholder views before meeting with Carmarthenshire Council to discuss progressing to the next stage." Public consultations have now been held after two phases of the embryonic project - the second identifying four potential options from an original list of 11.
Three of the four options feature a bypass which would skirt the east of Llandeilo, running along the railway below and then joining up with the A40 roundabout north of the town, and one incorporating traffic lights and the removal of parking in Rhosmaen Street but no relief road. The bypass options also avoid the village of Ffairfach to the south. You can get more Carmarthenshire news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
