The information below was shared by National Highways in November.
From National Highways:
Starting tonight we’re making safety improvements to the bends and junctions along the A49 between Woofferton and Llandinabo.
We’re replacing roadside signage to ensure road users are better informed of the road layout, and that the bends and junctions are signed throughout.
We’ll also renew road markings and install new traffic bollards as well as resurface the carriageway at Dinmore Hill.
To complete our work safely, we’ll work overnight, Monday to Friday, 8pm to 6am until next Spring.
