MONMOUTHSHIRE County Council are monitoring the high tides situation in Tintern and if necessary, they will arrange for the A466 through Tintern to be closed for short periods.

If they are closed it will be on the following dates:

Tuesday September 9 between 9.50pm until 10.20pm

Wednesday September 10 between 10.30pm until 11pm

The closure points will be as follows:

North End closure: Trelleck Road junction

South End closure: Forge Road junction

Closure times will be estimated based on the forecasted tide times. Natural Resources Wales will be monitoring the situation and issuing Flood Warnings when appropriate.

The road closures will only be temporary and only when tidal water actually overflows onto the highway. The road will reopen as soon as the water has gone from the highway.
