Ateb
Atebwyd gan Deputy Minister for Climate Change
The traffic light signal controlled junction solution for the A477 Nash fingerpost site is currently progressing through detailed design.
The electricity power supply is being progressed with an agreement reached between the National Grid and third party landowner from where the power will originate for the traffic signals. The feeder pillar connecting the power supply to the traffic signals has been installed in readiness for the electricity supply to be connected. We are awaiting the National Grid to confirm when works to connect power will commence on site.
The developing detailed design includes looking at options to provide active travel arrangements, provision of street lighting, environmental and engineering solutions and road safety audits as part of the design process.
In addition, a traffic order process has commenced with the aim of fast tracking a reduced speed limit to 40mph on the A477 on approach to the junction, with the coming into force (CIF date) 6th March. Temporary signs will be placed for 6th March with permanent signs to follow.
Additional araf / slow road markings were placed in mid December 2023 on the A477 approaching the junction. In addition, new give way signing will be placed on the A4075 county side road approaching the junction in the coming weeks.
My officials are available to meet you on site to discuss the programme.
