π§ Exciting News for Llanharan Residents! π§

Plans for the long-awaited Llanharan bypass have been officially unveiled by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council! The new bypass, designed as the Llanharan Sustainable Transport Corridor, aims to ease congestion and improve accessibility with two new road sections stretching across approximately 2.4km. π


Here’s what’s in store:
– **Eastern Section**: A 1.8km single carriageway linking the proposed signal-controlled junctions at Llanharan House and Enterprise Way. π¦
– **Western Section**: A 600m single carriageway straightening the existing A473 between Dragon Studios and Bridgend roundabouts. π
But thatβs not all! The project promises:
– New cycleways, embankments, and street lighting π΄ββοΈ
– Environmental benefits like planting and noise barriers π±
– Improved air quality and reduced congestion for Llanharan, Dolau, and Bryncae residents π
Part of a long-standing proposal in the local development plan, this initiative is set to boost local development opportunities, improve public transport reliability, and enhance active travel routes. More reliable journeys, fewer collisions, and healthier communities are on the horizon. π
This transformative scheme is a step towards improving quality of life for locals and contributing to economic regeneration. What do you think of RCT’s plan? Share your thoughts in the comments! π
