As a result of a girl being knocked down and killed the council is installing a pedestrian crossing. Because the central res isn't wide enough to provide a refuge it is being widened so one of the traffic lanes is being taken out instead of doing things properly and using some of the verge to widen the road.

Nearing completion, heading east with the new single slip road on right to Tal y bont replacing a double slip. The A40 has also continually suffered subsidence here which should now have been sorted

This picture was taken before the rules on speed camera visibility were ratified when various police forces had their own colour schemes for painting Gatsos. This example is in roadworks when the very short lived striped livery was applied. The standard plain yellow reflective backs were used soon after and continue to this day.

Not much of the Advance Direction Sign left. In the background you can see the local ADS has been removed leaving the poles.

Sorry about the motion blur. The sign says 'Motorway traffic only', although there is a house on the left just past it.
