Essential works to replace a culvert on the A487 in Newport, Pembrokeshire. The road will be closed for approximately 8 weeks.
6 January - 28 February
- A487 will be closed in both directions from Parrog St junction to the Market St junction.
This work involves digging up the road, removing the old culvert, stabilising the nearby ground building the new culvert, and then rebuilding the road. A full replacement was the only option as the existing structure could not be repaired
Trunk road traffic diversion
Eastbound vehicles will be diverted via the westbound A487 to Fishguard, southbound A40 to Haverfordwest, eastbound A40 to Penblewin Roundabout and the northbound A478 to Cardigan to re-join the A487: vice versa for westbound vehicles.
A local diversion route for cars and small vans (less than 3.5T) will be via the Upper W St / Upper Bridge St. This is a single track road unsuitable for large vehicles, and vehicles over 3.5T. Traffic flow along this road will be managed with the use of two-way traffic lights.
Pedestrian diversion
The alternative route for eastbound pedestrians is via Parrog Road for approximately 160 metres, then the lane onto Maesingli, the lane between Maesingli and Long Street car park, onto Long Street and continue to the A487 Bridge Street: vice versa for westbound pedestrians.
