Concluded

The A469 between New Tredegar and Pontlottyn forms part of the County Borough’s Strategic Highway Network. Historically there have been a number of landslips at Troedrhiwfwuch. The most recent ones being February 2014, when the A469 had to be closed for a number of months whilst emergency repairs were carried out and more recently in February 2020, which has meant the A469 has been reduced to a single lane controlled by traffic lights.

CCBC has received funding from Welsh Government to allow us to undertake detailed ground investigations, on-going monitoring of ground movements, ground water levels and rainfall data which has fed into a preliminary design proposal. The next step is Detailed Design.

Why are we running these sessions?

To share work carried out to-date with the public and raise awareness of the indicative proposed scheme.

Next Steps

If the proposed scheme is implemented it will have the following benefits:

• Improve the quality of the road’s surface which will enable the road’s speed limit to be reinstated.

• Temporary traffic lights will be removed which will improve journey times.

• Reduce the need for ongoing road closures which are currently required to seal up cracks in the road.

• Utility apparatus within the highway will be protected from damage due to ongoing ground movements.

• An early warning system will be considered to forewarn of significant ground movement.

The appearance of the A469 following the remediation scheme will remain very similar to the current situation, although the remediation structures may be visible to occupants of passing vehicles.
