Road closures and diversions will be in place in an area of Pontypridd over the Easter holidays to enable essential roadworks, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council has confirmed. Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water will carry out essential work to divert the water main at River Street in Treforest on behalf of the council, and a road closure and temporary bus arrangements will be in place over the Easter holiday to enable the works to take place.
The work will be carried out between 7 River Street and the junction of River Street and Castle Street, and it's claimed it has been scheduled over the holiday period to avoid peak travel times and to carry out the work safely and quickly, with fewer vehicles on the road at peak times.
It will start on Saturday, April 9, and will end by Sunday, April 24, including work over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend (April 15 to April 18). Welsh Water will be diverting the existing water main that is currently in place to allow for the future replacement of the Castle Inn footbridge between River Street and Cardiff Road, Glyntaff. It has appointed Lewis Civil Engineering as the contractor to carry out the work.
