Saundersfoot roads and paths boost
Pembrokeshire County Council has started a programme of road resurfacing and footway improvement work in Saundersfoot.
The resurfacing work is part of the Council's capital carriageway strengthening programme.
In addition, more than £500,000 is being spent on providing safe walking and cycling routes in the village as a result of a successful bid for Safe Routes in Communities funding from the National Assembly.
The schemes focus on new and improved footways, safe crossings, shelters, cycle racks and traffic calming measures in the village.
Unfortunately the work will entail some disruption to roads in the area and around Saundersfoot Primary School.
Pupils have been given letters to take home to parents outlining the work due to be carried out.
This week (4th-8th January) resurfacing work will take place on Cambrian Terrace and Milford Street. The work will be relatively light but may cause delays in getting to school.
From 11th January onwards major works will start on Church Terrace, Wogan Terrace and Francis Lane. This will involve closure of either Wogan Terrace or Church Terrace with two way traffic lights to divert traffic along the other road.
The closures should only occur between 9.20am and 2.45pm but this cannot be guaranteed. All day closures may also occur at weekends and over the February half term.
During closures, motorists are advised to be prepared for long delays and urged to use alternative routes wherever possible.
The work is being carried out by Alun Griffiths (Contractors) Ltd and is estimated to be completed in around 12 weeks.
