Work on the new Sainsbury’s store which is currently being built on the Brown Lenox site in Pontypridd is now underway and in line for completion in July 2012.

The scheme will bring a capital investment of £50 million to Pontypridd, contributing to the town’s regeneration and creating between 300-350 full and part time jobs.

The store will include a six-pump petrol station, recycling facilities, car parking for approximately 460 cars including parent and child and disabled bays, a new access road from the A470 roundabout directly into the site and an enhanced pedestrian and bus links to the town.

In order for this exciting project to take place successfully there will need to be a series of road closures which may cause some minor disruption for motorists travelling in and around Pontypridd town centre.

The latest road closures will be updated frequently and can be found below:

The designated left turn lane from the westbound A4058 Cross Valley Link Road into Broadway will be closed as and when necessary overnight between 8 pm and 6 am the following day between Sunday 29^th January and Sunday 5^th February.   

Traffic signs giving advance notification of the proposed road closures will be provide prior to the closures coming into effect as well as signs for the diversionary routes when the roads are closed.

All road closures and or disruptions will be kept to a minimum in order to reduce the impact this has on motorists and Sainsbury’s is urging those affected to bear with them as this will be for their longer term benefit.

Whilst the works and closures are in force diversion signs will be in place which will advise those affected of the best alternative route to take.
