THE village of Newbridge-on-Wye will be entirely closed to traffic for 13 nights next month, while improvements to the road surface are carried out.
The Welsh Government has confirmed resurfacing works are scheduled to take place in the village, beginning on Monday, September 14.
The work will require overnight closure of the main A470 that passes through the village, between 7pm and 7am. The work is scheduled to last until Saturday, September 26.
“We can confirm that resurfacing works on the A470 at Newbridge-on-Wye are currently scheduled to take place between 14 and 26 September, 2026,” a Welsh Government spokesperson said this week.
“Subject to final programme confirmation, the works will require overnight road closures between 7pm and 7am.

According to a post on the Public Notice Portal website, the effect of the proposed order will be to temporarily prohibit all vehicles from proceeding on the length of the A470 trunk road that extends from the centre-point of its junction with the C1210 county road (leading to Brynwern) at the southern end of Newbridge, to a point 50 metres north of the centre-point of its junction with the B4358 at the northern end of the village.
The alternative route for northbound vehicles will be via the southbound A470 to Llanelwedd, north-eastbound A483 to the Tremont Road roundabout at the northern end of Llandrindod Wells, and the Ddole Road Enterprise Park to the Ddole Road Enterprise Park roundabout, westbound A4081 to its junction with the A470 at Dolyfan and southbound A470: vice versa for southbound vehicles.

Although the order is only expected to be in force during the period specified above, it will remain valid for a maximum period of 18 months, as a contingency, should the work need to be rescheduled or consequential or other work is required.
Notice of any changes to times and dates will be displayed before any rescheduled work begins.
Residential and emergency service vehicle access should be maintained, though Traffic Wales is yet to confirm this.
