Five weeks of roadworks to start on busy Carmarthen trunk road
The resurfacing work is taking place between Pensarn roundabout at the junction of the A40, A48 and A484 – and Glangwili roundabout at the junction of the A40 and A485 on both the eastbound and westbound carriageways.
The South Wales Trunk Road Agent (SWTRA), who maintain trunk roads and motorways in South Wales, say the resurfacing works will start on 19 June for 21 nights with an additional night planned on the 25 July to replace existing bridge joints.
Waterproofing repair work is also to be carried out on the Towy River Bridge known as Pont Cynnwr.
In order to undertake these works safely the A40 will be closed westbound between Glangwili Roundabout (A40/A485) and Llangunnor Roundabout (A40/A484) to traffic from Friday 4 July at 8pm through to Sunday 6 July at 6am.
Signposted diversions will take drivers on a 33 mile detour along the A48 to Cross Hands, the A476 to Llandeilo and the A40 back to Carmarthen.
SWTRA say that during the daytime, there will be periods where traffic will be running on the milled surface prior to the resurfacing works being carried out. Temporary markings and signage will be in place during this period and the speed limit will be reduced to 40mph.
