Minimisation of Disruption

The A465 is a key route through Wales and it is essential that we ensure minimal disruption for the travelling public, local residents and businesses. We recognise that our achievement of this will be a key measure of the success of this project. Our team will minimise this disruption by:

• Early project planning
• Generally maintaining 2 lanes of traffic along the A465
• Programming to take account of local events
• Notification through radio, local press and web sites
• Contingency plans for accidents and emergencies
• A safe, well signed Traffic Management scheme
• Provision for emergency services, particularly to Neville Hall Hospital

Traffic Safety and Control Officer

Our Traffic Safety and Control Officer Dennis Mullen will oversee all traffic management issues, working together with the Public Liaison Officer, local police and the Project Manager.
He will liaise with third parties such as the ambulance service, Monmouthshire County Council and Statutory Authorities.

Temporary Arrangements when traffic management is in operation

Once the traffic management scheme is in operation, a dedicated team will perform regular patrols of the site to ensure that it is maintained to the required standard. This team will be backed up by temporary CCTV cameras.

A free breakdown service will be operated within the site to ensure blockages are cleared quickly. Recovery vehicles will be situated at a suitable point along the scheme so that access to any incident is no longer than 15 minutes.
