Disruption expected due to Bridgend cycle way roadworks:
Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) has announced that work will begin on 3rd January on a new section of the active travel route along the A48, this time from Waterton roundabout running west to the end of the retail park.
Work is scheduled to last 12 weeks and will provide a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists. The estimated cost of £586,000 will be funded by the Welsh Government. The work involves widened footways along the A48 into shared use facilities, footway and verge reconstruction, vegetation clearance, traffic sign and street lighting improvements and more.
Cllr John Spanswick, the BCBC cabinet member for Communities, said: “In light of addressing the current climate crisis, as well as the increase in the cost of living, not to mention the health benefits attached to active travel – adopting new ways of travelling can only prove to be advantageous for those within our community.
“Whilst we assure people that every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum, unfortunately, some disruption will be unavoidable. However, it is important to remember that the outcome will be worth any temporary, minor inconvenience.”
