All-Wales road-fixing programme under way

A MAJOR Welsh Government initiative is now well under way, with work progressing across Wales to repair and future-proof local roads and pavements.

- 

Backed by £10m in additional revenue funding, the scheme is unlocking up to £120m in capital investment over the next two years to tackle some of the country’s most badly damaged routes.

One of the first roads to benefit is the A458 in Conwy County, where resurfacing is now taking place.

The extra investments will see around 600km of local roads resurfaced this financial year. Councils will focus on the worst-affected areas, with over 200,000 potholes expected to be fixed and prevented.
