Roadworks are set to begin in the new year on Commercial Street in Ystrad Mynach.
The work, by Caerphilly County Borough Council, will see repairs to Penallta Road’s culvert deck – the structure that allows water to flow underneath the road.
Work is expected to begin mid-January and will last about ten weeks, subject to weather and other unforeseen events.
During the work, Penallta Road will be closed up to its intersection with Bedwlwyn Road and Commercial Street.
Cllr Sean Morgan, Cabinet Member with responsibility for infrastructure, said: “These essential works have been scheduled for the new year to minimise the disruption to both businesses and residents over the Christmas period, with pedestrian access maintained throughout the works to all businesses and residential properties.”
He added: “It has been decided to use reinforced precast units, rather than other construction methods in order to minimise the amount of time that the road closure will be in place. We will liaise with residents, businesses and local transport companies to outline the proposed works prior to their commencement.”
A public exhibition will take place in Ystrad Mynach Library from Monday, November 26, until Saturday, December 1, from 11.45am to 12.45pm to provide more information about the works and closures.
The works will mainly be funded by the Welsh Government and in part by Caerphilly County Borough Council.
