Next steps
- we will build a new road bridge to realign Pant industrial estate side road to the north of the proposed Pant road underbridge
- build a retaining wall at Rocky Road
- early 2022 to summer 2022: we will widen the existing road embankment to the south of the existing A465 between Pant industrial estate and Pant road.
- early 2022 to summer 2022: we will realign the A465 to the south and allow work on the eastbound carriageway to the north
- from spring 2022: we will build the new Pant road bridge in two halves. The first half will be built to the north of the existing bridge. When it is complete we will move traffic onto it. This will allow the old bridge to be knocked down. The southern half of the new bridge will then be built.
