Closure of B4254 Gelligaer
Please see below the latest update on the planned works on the road near the junction with the Harp Inn/Church due to start on 1 April 2024. I'll continue to post updates as they become available. This will cause disruptions and you'll need to plan your journeys to avoid this stretch of road as there will be no access between Cascade and Gelligaer via this road while the work is ongoing.
UPDATE
I’m writing from Welsh Water to let you know about essential work to repair a water leak on Pengam Road, Gelligaer. This work is planned to start on Monday 1st April, and is expected to take around one week.
Whilst this is the planned start date and duration, it may change in the event of an emergency, or factors beyond our control. Should the work need to be rescheduled or change in any way, we’ll update the ‘In Your Area’ section of our website, which you can access by clicking here.
Our investigations suggest that the leak is located in the centre of the road, as such, a section of Pengam Road will be closed for the duration of our work, and there’ll be a signposted diversion route for motorists. I’ve attached a map of the alternate route with my email.
We recognise this essential work will impact the community, and so to minimise disruption this work is taking place over the Easter school holidays. We’ll be sending text messages to those living in and around the area, and we’ll also provide information on our page. I’d kindly ask that you provide this update on any of your social platforms, to ensure as many people as possible know what to expect.
The location of the work is shown on the image below, although you can also view the exact position of the work by visiting What3Words.com, and using the three words retailing.parsnips.meaning
We’ll be working with Envolve Infrastructure, who’ll be in the area between the hours of 7.30am and 5.30pm each day, and over the weekend to get the repair completed as quickly as possible.
We don’t expect this work to impact the water supply to residents in any way, although if anything changes, we’ll let you know.
