An important Resilient Roads scheme has now been completed at Turberville Road in Porth, designed to reduce the risk of highway flooding during storm events.
Targeted work to deliver the Welsh Government-funded scheme got underway in November 2024, to upgrade the existing highway headwall inlet structure.
The existing watercourse channel and upstream drainage infrastructure have also been upgraded, with the aim of improving the conveyance of water to the new headwall.
Calibre Contracting Ltd substantially completed the work by the end of March 2025 – and finishing work, most-recently the installation of fencing, has now been completed.
All traffic management along Turberville Road was lifted upon the contractor’s completion.
The scheme was funded through Welsh Government’s Resilient Roads Fund for 2024/25.
Welsh Government has also recently allocated £1.5 million to the Council for further Resilient Roads schemes in 2025/26, to continue to tackle known issues of flooding on our highway network.
