Significant work to Westfield Pill Bridge is planned affecting traffic on the A477.
The essential work to maintain and repair the busy bridge over Westfield Pill, between Neyland and Pembroke Dock, is due to start on Monday, 19th January.
Following a Principal Inspection in 2022, a programme of essential works were identified to maintain the durability of the structure.
Significant work was last carried out on Westfield Pill Bridge in 1998 which required a full closure of the structure, however it is planned for the works in 2026 to be managed through traffic management systems to avoid closure of the bridge.
These works due to commence in January 2026 will focus on the following essential refurbishment works:
- the replacement of the eastbound and westbound bridge parapets
- the replacement of the expansion joints
- resurfacing
The works are expected to last no longer than three months, including weekend and night time working.
All works will be undertaken from the bridge deck and have been scheduled to avoid other planned works on the trunk road and lower traffic periods.
Two-way traffic signals will be utilised for the duration of the works and these will be manually controlled during busy periods and every effort made to reduce any delays, particularly on school transport.
There may be delays on the 349 (Haverfordwest-Pembroke Dock-Tenby) and 356 (Milford-Monkton) bus routes during this period.
