DELAYS and disruption are expected for drivers as plans have been announced to close the A40 between Carmarthen and Llandeilo for up to 18 months.
The closure is for resurfacing and repairs on the road. It is scheduled to start at midnight on January 30.
The plans have been announced by the Welsh Government and received criticism from local residents, as all traffic will be prohibited from travelling on the road during the closures other than works and emergency vehicles.
Edward Thomas, the county councillor for Llandeilo, took to social media website Faccebook and said: “On initial reading I thought ‘what is going on?’ but after making enquiries, it appears that they are undertaking road surface repairs and sections will be closed for periods at a time with suitable diversions.”
The diversions will include the A483, A48 and A476, with a speed limited of 40mph being enforced.
