Question
Will the Cabinet Minister detail what access provisions will be made for residents impacted by the forthcoming overnight road closures on the A465 between the Hardwick Interchange and Pontrilas?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Transport (Mark Hooper)
Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TTROs) are typically made for a period of up to 18 months, during which authorised works may commence and be undertaken. Publication of the TTRO does not confirm a start date for the works.
The TTRO for the A465 between Hardwick Roundabout and Pontrilas has been published to facilitate carriageway coring and investigative works. Detailed information regarding the programme, commencement date and traffic management arrangements has not yet been finalised or published.
Once the programme and traffic management arrangements have been finalised, details will be communicated through the usual stakeholder and public communications channels in advance of any works commencing.
The investigative works will inform any future decisions on potential carriageway resurfacing, which would be subject to the outcome of the investigations and the availability of funding.
