Motorists across Monmouthshire are being warned of a series of temporary road closures and parking restrictions at the end of October and beginning of November 2026 as utility works take place at several locations.

Monmouthshire County Council has issued a number of temporary traffic regulation notices covering roads in Llandegveth, Pen Yr Heol, Cwmcarvan, Dingestow and Monmouth.

The first restrictions will come into force on Wednesday, October 28, when a section of Waste Road, Pen Yr Heol, will be closed to allow poling and civils works to be carried out safely.

The closure will affect a stretch of road approximately 70 metres from its junction with Mill Road for around 210 metres. Work is scheduled to take place between 8am and 5pm.

A signed diversion route will direct traffic via Bryngwyn Road, Raglan Road, the R42 Penrhos Farm to Beiliau Wood route, the R42 Beiliau Wood to Pen Yr Heol route and Waste Road. Reasonable access for properties along the affected section will be maintained where possible.

Also on Wednesday, October 28, the R76 road between Mitchel Troy Road and Penrhos Road in Cwmcarvan will be closed for poling works.

The closure will extend from its junction with Perth-Hir Road for approximately 185 metres and will operate between 8am and 5pm. Diversions will be in place via Perth-Hir Road, Cwmcarvan Hill Side Road and the R76 route.

On Thursday, October 29, a section of the R42 Waste Road in Dingestow will be closed for poling works. The affected length is around 335 metres from its junction with Bryngwyn Road and extends for approximately 185 metres.

The closure will also operate from 8am to 5pm, with the same diversion route used for the Pen Yr Heol closure.

Further disruption is expected on Friday, October 30, when Darren Road in Llandegveth will be closed for poling works between 8am and 5pm.

The closure will affect a section around 0.65 kilometres from the junction with Tre-Herbert Road and continue for approximately 380 metres.

Traffic will be diverted via Tre-Herbert Road, the A4042, Newport Road, Jerusalem Lane, Sluvad Road, Llandegfedd Reservoir Loop Road, Parc Road, Coed Y Paen and Sor Brook.

In Monmouth, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water works will result in the suspension of parking bays on B4293 Cinderhill Street on Sunday, November 1.

The restrictions will be in place from 8am to 6pm between No. 21 St Thomas Square and No. 17 Cinderhill Street, covering shared time-limited and resident permit parking bays over a distance of approximately 105 metres.
