Drivers in Llandenny and Earlswood face a series of short‑term road closures next month as Monmouthshire County Council carries out essential inspection and poling works.

The first disruption lands on February 5, when Llandenny Walks Road will shut for one day between 8am and 5pm to allow poling works to be completed. The closure covers around 150 metres from its junction with Llandenny Road, with diversions in place via Monmouth Road, Ty Freeman Road and surrounding routes.

Just four days later, from February 9-10 and again between February 18-19, Llandenny Road’s SWTRA Overbridge will be closed overnight between 9pm and 5am for structural inspection works. The affected stretch runs roughly 0.85km west of the R71 junction, with traffic rerouted via Lower Raglan Road and Cefn Tilla Road.

Meanwhile in Earlswood, R122 Shirenewton to Wentwood Mill Road will close on 10 February between 9am and 5pm for further poling work. The closure spans 155 metres near Gaerllwyd Baptist Chapel, with diversions through Buckwell Road and Earlswood Common Road.

Monmouthshire County Council has also announced temporary overnight closures on Llandenny Road to allow essential SWTRA Overbridge inspection works to be carried out safely. The order takes effect from February 9 for up to 18 months, though work is scheduled over four nights: February 9-10 and February 18-19, between 9pm and 5am. The affected section runs approximately 0.85km, from 0.50km west of the R71 Lower Raglan Road junction to Old Quarry Road. A signed diversion will operate via Lower Raglan Road and Cefn Tilla Road. Reasonable access for fronting properties will be maintained throughout.

The council says reasonable access will be maintained throughout—but motorists should plan ahead to avoid delays.

Drivers across the county are also facing a flurry of short‑term road closures as essential poling works roll out across the county. Three separate routes — in Cleddon, Caerwent and Monmouth — are all subject to temporary shutdowns, with the council stressing safety as the chief priority.

The biggest upcoming disruption is scheduled for February 4 on the B4347 near Monmouth, where a 90‑metre stretch will close for the day. A hefty diversion will send motorists on a long loop via the B4521, A466 and B4293 through the town centre.

Council officials say access for residents will be maintained throughout — but drivers are advised to plan ahead.
