The A470 junction will connect the A470 to the A465.

What we’re doing
- building a temporary road
- moving utilities
- building new viaducts at Nant Ffrwd and Taf Fawr
- building a bridge
- junction improvements
We will build a new junction to replace the existing one at the A470/A465 roundabout.
The junction will have two roundabouts on the A470 with roads to the A465.
We are going to build a bridge to carry the A465 over the connector road between the 2 roundabouts.
We will build new viaducts to bridge the Nant Ffrwd and Taf Fawr watercourses.
We will move utilities, including overhead high voltage cables, to build the new road.
Current progress
We have:
- cleared vegetation ready for work to start
- started moving the overhead high voltage cables
- built access tracks to the bridges
