The urgent temporary road closure of Union Hill, Haverfordwest has been extended enabling further essential works to be carried out by Pembrokeshire County Council.
The road has remained closed since February 24 as the road has undergone re-strengthening work while the wall on Union Hill has been stabilised after being deemed dangerous.
But this week it was announced that as a result of additional unforeseen works, the road and public footpath closure will be extended until March 17.
The current manned two way traffic management system which was put in place to allow for vehicular access along Quay Street will continue.
As a result, the public is being asked to minimise vehicular access along this street and to take other routes and use alternative parking places where possible.
Access for businesses and residents along Quay Street to the bottom of Union Hill will be managed and pedestrian access will continue along Quay Street.
This traffic management and road closure will be continuously reviewed to ensure minimal impact on businesses, residents and visitors of the affected area.
County Councillor for the Haverfordwest Castle ward, Thomas Tudor, said: “Whilst I am pleased that these works to repair the wall are now in place and proceeding well, could I take this opportunity to thank both the residents and businesses who reside and operate in Quay Street for their cooperation, patience and understanding during this process but to be reassured that access for all concerned will be maintained during the necessary work.”
