A479 Talgarth to Cwmdu Village - Essential Carriageway Resurfacing and Cyclic Maintenance Works

Start Date:02/11/26 End date:15/11/26

A479 Talgarth terminals streetview

All work to be undertaken with a road closure. Working hours are 08:00 hrs to 17:00 hrs.

Due to the deteriorating condition of the carriageway on the A479 at Cwmdu village in Powys, essential carriageway resurfacing works will commence on the 02/11/2026 to 15/11/2026. 

To take advantage of the road closure, cyclic maintenance work has been programmed along sections of the A479 between Talgarth and Cwmdu between 02/11/2026 to 06/11/2026. 

This will reduce the need for future road closures in the area.

The road closure will operate between Cwmdu and the A479/B4560 Talgarth Roundabout, Talgarth. Access will be available up to the points of closure.  

Emergency Services and School/Public Transport buses will be allowed controlled access through the closed sections. Similar arrangements will be in place to allow residents/customers/workers to access and leave the properties within the closure but there will be delays.  

The work will be carried out during daylight hours 08:00 – 17:00 under a full carriageway closure.  The official signed diversion route will be the A479 to Bronllys, A438 to Pontybat, A470 to Brecon, A40 to Nantyffin to re-join the A479, and vice versa for traffic travelling in the opposite direction.

 

All work to be undertaken with a road closure. Working hours are 08:00 hrs to 17:00 hrs. 

No weekend work currently planned.
