Velothon Wales – Sunday 22nd May 2016

This article is old - Published: Tuesday, May 17th, 2016

The Velothon is coming to Gwent this Sunday and in order to ensure the route is safe for the 18,000 participants, extensive road closures are being implemented. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The organisers have been working hard to minimise disruption as much as possible and improve upon the 2015 event. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Over 100,000 residents received letters in February 2016 detailing the route and an additional letter in April 2016 detailing the precise road closure timings. This letter can be seen below. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
