Alun Griffiths (Contractors) has started on the A4119 Dualling scheme to deliver on a long-term Council commitment which will improve connectivity and encourage economic activity into the valleys.

The A4119 project will provide 1.5km of dual carriageway from Coed Ely Roundabout to Llantrisant Business Park. There will also be a new active travel bridge south of Coed Ely roundabout, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to cross the road from a new shared community route into the village.

The construction phase of the major scheme is funded with £11.4m from the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund, in addition to funding previously committed by the Council and Welsh Government.

Cllr. Andrew Morgan OBE, Leader of Rhondda Cynon Taf Council and Cabinet Member for Infrastructure and Investment, said: "The dualling scheme is a priority investment to significantly improve local connectivity to the strategic Rhondda Gateway region, by improving traffic flow in this busy commuter area. It will unlock the former colliery site, Parc Coed-elái, which is the location of the Council’s new modern business unit, with the wider site being developed by Welsh Government. The scheme will also improve active travel provision for the local community at Coed Ely."
