A SCHEME of roadworks, planned to upgrade the A4042 Cwmbran Rechem roundabout, has started.
The Welsh Government and Taylor Wimpey will be delivering the project, expected to last around 12 weeks, aims to be completed by Sunday, April 1.
The upgrade, with work starting on Monday, January 8, will increase the operational capacity of the junction and will include widening the approaches and amendments to the central kerbing of the roundabout.
There will also be changes to associated infrastructure such as traffic signs, road markings and street lighting.
Disruption will be kept to a minimum by maintaining the existing two lane approaches to the roundabout, however, there will be narrowed lanes and a reduced speed limit for the duration of the works.
A number of night time road closures are also planned to avoid disruption at peak times.
Full details and updates on the work will be posted at www.traffic-wales.com/VoyagerNews.aspx?NEWSID=9488
The roadworks are not a council scheme and concerns should be directed to the contractors Walters UK on either 07977 197144 or 01685 815100.
