The following diversions will be in place for the two road closures on A465 and the A470.
Traffic Wales said due to the complexities of the roadworks, the road will sometimes be reduced from three lanes to two, or sections of the road are closed overnight. Traffic lights may be in operation.
Why are roadworks happening?
Traffic Wales has said the works will:
-
improve traffic flow and make it safer to overtake
-
make the road safer, especially around junctions and areas with poor visibility
-
improve access to key services, jobs and markets.
