A familiar sight to thousands of motorists is now back in its rightful place after a major refurbishment.

The Trecenydd footbridge, which goes over the A469 road near Hendre Infant School, Hendre Junior School and St Cenydd Comprehensive, was dismantled back in July.

The bridge reopened on Tuesday, September 1, ahead of the new school term after it was refitted on schedule over Friday, August 28 and August 29.

The refurbishment of the footbridge involved repainting, addressing issues with drainage and corrosion, as well as improving the anti-skid surfacing.

While the bridge was being refitted, the A469 between Trecenydd roundabout and Pwllypant roundabout was closed.

Alongside the refurbishment of the Trecenydd footbridge, Caerphilly County Borough Council carried out inspections on the two other footbridges between the Trecenydd roundabout and Pwllypant roundabout.

The inspections of the Court Road and Willkins Terrace footbridges were carried out while the road was closed.
