Slope Instability On A4077
Traffic lights have been erected on a section of a south Powys road because of highway safety concerns, the county council has confirmed.
The traffic lights have been put in place on a 50 metre section of the A4077 between Crickhowell and Gilwern, restricting the use of the eastbound lane.
Powys County Council’s highway inspectors have found slope instability within the adjacent bank below the road.
The council and the Canal and River Trust are co-ordinating investigation works into the cause of this instability, which are expected to last into the early autumn.
Cllr John Brunt, Cabinet Member for Highways, said: “We would like to apologise for the inconvenience this will cause but the lights are needed in the interest of road safety.
“In the meantime, remedial drainage work will be carried out to reduce the stress on this section of the road while we wait for the results of our joint investigation.”
