The main road between Berriew and Welshpool has reopened following an early morning crash on the A483.

The road had been closed since before 6am on Saturday (December 23) while emergency services were at the scene. 

Shortly before 2pm, Traffic Wales and Dyfed-Powys Police said the road had reopened between Berriew and the Sarn Bryn Caled roundabout, near Charlies' Coed y Dinas garden centre.

Earlier today, Dyfed-Powys Police officers advised drivers planning on travelling along the road to avoid the area. 

The crash had closed the busy road in both directions following the collision between Brithdir Lane, Berriew and Sweeps Lane, Belan.

In a social media message posted shortly after 6am, Dyfed-Powys Police said: "The road is currently closed due to a collision.

"Please avoid the area and find alternative routes for your journey.

"Thank you."
