A road at a popular tourist destination in Powys has reopened after being closed for 18 months due to storm damage.
The section of road at Lake Vyrnwy was closed following damage caused by Storm Darragh, but is now back in use after repairs were completed.
Work included restoring crash barriers and fencing.
However, visitors will face some delays as resurfacing will now begin on the opposite side of the road.
This means the alternative route that has been in use for the past 18 months will temporarily close while the resurfacing is completed.

A spokesperson for the Lake Vyrnwy Ranger Team said: "After 18 months, the road damaged during Storm Darragh is now officially open again."
They thanked the "hardworking contractors" for restoring the crash barriers and fencing and "getting things back in shape".
The team said that Rhiwargor car park, Blue Monday Coffee, and the waterfall remain accessible.
Visitors are advised to cross the historic dam and turn right.
Access to the hotel is still possible by following diversion signs or contacting the hotel directly.
The Ranger Team also reminded the public that the reopened road is narrower and more winding.
The spokesperson said: "Please take it steady, keep an eye out for others, and share the road kindly, especially with cyclists and walkers.
"We’ll keep you posted if anything changes and let you know as soon as everything is fully open again.
"Thanks, as always, for your patience, support, and for looking after this special place with us."
