Monmouthshire County Council has issued three temporary traffic regulation notices that will affect roads in Devauden, Carrow Hill and Magor during early September.
Each order has been made under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and allows essential works to be carried out safely while maintaining reasonable access for residents living along the affected stretches.
The Council has confirmed that signed diversion routes will be in place for all closures, with disruption expected to be short‑term and clearly marked for motorists travelling through the impacted areas.
The first notice applies to R84 Road between Tŷ Du Road and Nex Common in Devauden. The order will come into force on Wednesday, September 2 and may remain legally valid for up to 18 months, although the Council anticipates that the works will be completed by Friday, September 4.
Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water will carry out the works, requiring the temporary closure of a 120‑metre section located roughly 455 metres from the junction with Glyn Farm Road.
Access for fronting properties will be maintained throughout the closure period. A signed diversion will direct motorists via Glyn Farm Road and the B4293, ensuring that traffic continues to flow through the wider area.
A second closure will also begin on Wednesday, September 2, this time affecting Undy Road in Carrow Hill. This order is expected to last only one day, with works taking place between 8am and 5pm.
The closure applies to a 65‑metre stretch situated approximately 315 metres from the junction with Carrow Road. The Council states that the order is necessary to allow poling works to be undertaken safely.
A diversion will send traffic through Carrow Road, St Brides Road, several sections of the B4245, Parkhurst Drive, Silurian Road and back to Undy Road.
Reasonable access for residents will be maintained during the works, with signage placed at key points along the route.
The third notice covers The Square in Magor, where Welsh Water will again be carrying out essential works. This closure will begin on Monday, September 7 and is expected to finish on Wednesday, September 9.
A 40‑metre stretch from the junction with Sycamore Terrace will be closed, with access maintained for fronting properties and nearby businesses. The diversion route will operate via Sycamore Terrace and Old Magor Road.
