Major emergency works for the culvert on Troed-yr-Rhiw Road, Mountain Ash, will begin on 3rd February and take place over 8 weeks. The work will be completed over two phases, taking approximately 4 weeks each.
The culvert at Troed-yr-Rhiw Road was significantly damaged as a result of Storm Bert. While urgent repairs were undertaken at the time so the culvert could continue to operate after Strom Bert and the road reopen, further emergency works can now begin to not just repair the culvert, but to increase its capacity and improve its resilience during severe weather events.
