🚧 Heads up, drivers! 🚧 Plans for five weekends of road closures on the A4233 could affect your travel. Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is sprucing up the New Rheola Bridge in Porth, which means some disruptions are on the horizon.
Expect closures as they clear vegetation, clean, and paint the bridge. To keep traffic moving, works are scheduled over weekends and during the night through the school holidays, aiming for minimum impact on daily commutes.
Here’s what you need to know:
– The A4233 Porth Relief Road section will be shut from 8pm Saturday to 5am Monday on July 25-26, August 1-2, August 8-9, August 15-16, and August 22-23.
– Simultaneous closures will affect Rheola Road and stretches of Aber-Rhondda Road from 7.30pm Sunday to 5am Monday.
Don’t worry, alternative routes are planned to ease your journey:
– Northbound closure routes include Llanwonno Road, Aber-Rhondda Road, and more until Porth Street.
– Heading in the opposite direction? Follow via A4058, Cymmer Bridge, and Porth Street.
While emergency services will have limited access during the Porth Relief Road closures, pedestrians will maintain access on Rheola Road/Aber-Rhondda Road.
Weekday evenings might bring two-way traffic lights to manage flow and ensure the project wraps up by end of August.
Stay updated, plan your routes ahead, and bear with us as we work towards a safer, cleaner bridge for everyone! 🛤️🏗️🚦
