£2.2MILLION is being invested in Carmarthenshire roads over the next few months, Carmarthenshire County Council has announced.

Over 50 sections of road will be resurfaced after funding was made available from the council’s capital works programme and the Welsh Government.

This significant investment is in addition to a programme of preventative dressing treatment which has already commenced.

Comprehensive traffic management will be in place whilst the works are being carried out and the schemes will be published in advance with details available on https://one.network/tm

Short term road closures will be necessary on some sections however these will be planned to minimise disruption as far as possible.

All work will be carried out in line with latest guidance relating to Covid-19.

The council’s cabinet member for environment, Cllr Hazel Evans, said: “This is a significant amount of money that we have secured to improve our roads in the county.

“Whilst we can’t treat every road, the combined improvements will support safer and improved journeys for Carmarthenshire’s road users.

“All roadworks will be publicised in advance so motorists can plan journeys to avoid the area and take an alternative route. We will minimise as far as possible the impact on road users by careful planning, however, some disruption cannot be avoided, so please bear with us. We thank everyone in advance for their cooperation and patience.”
