December date for Carmarthen street

Carmarthen’s St Catherine Street will re-open to traffic at 5pm on Friday December 4.
The road was due to re-open at the end of next week but this has been delayed for three weeks due to unforeseen circumstances.
The road was closed on August 24 for an estimated 12 weeks to enable the final stage of the £74million Carmarthen Mart Development, St Catherine Street, to be carried out.
The closure has enabled a major push on the development by the Simons Group.
Work has included traffic calming measures creating a 20mph loop round the development formed by Pentrefelin Street, Water Street and Barn Road.
This involved the installation of vertical traffic calming measures, a total of seven speed reducing cushions.
County head of transport and engineering Trevor Sage said: “The major re-construction of St Catherine Street will allow pedestrian access to the northern side of the development.
“St Catherine Street will open to traffic again on December 4 at 5pm to cater for Christmas shopping.
“There will be works going on in St Catherine Street for a further couple of weeks with traffic controlled by temporary lights.”
