VISITORS to the Elan Valley are being warned that access around one of the region’s reservoirs will be shut to motorists for five days later this month.

Powys County Council’s highways department has announced that the road closure will be in force around the Craig Goch Dam.

The road closure will affect the U1551 and will be in place from Monday-Friday, April 20-24, between 8am and 4.30pm.

The closure is on behalf of Envolve Infrastructure/Welsh Water, while they do works to install cable.

Residential access and emergency vehicle access will be maintained. An alternative route will be signposted.

Further information can be obtained from Envolve Infrastructure.
