Works being carried out to improve a section of road on the route in and out of Tenby are on schedule to be completed by Easter.

Pembrokeshire County Council recently secured funding to improve the junction on the A4218/A478 Narberth Road, by remodelling a section of the road, as the second phase of a Welsh Government funded Road Safety Grant scheme.

The scheme, which includes introducing a mini roundabout as part of the revised layout, has seen the junction at Upper Hill Park with Narberth Road remain closed to make it safer whilst the works are carried out.

Speaking at Tuesday night’s meeting of Tenby Town Council, the town clerk, Andrew Davies, said the works were progressing well, with street lighting and minor drainage works to be completed next.

“The three-way temporary traffic lights initially were causing delays, but the contractors are manually controlling them now during the busy morning and evening periods,” said Mr. Davies, adding that they would also continue to monitor the diversions for vehicles wishing to access Upper Hill Park, Seascape and Lady Park, as people had been parking by the ‘Welcome to Tenby’ sign.

Mr. Davies said there had been no indication that the 12-week timetable of works had been amended, so the scheme was expected to be completed by Easter.
