A view eastbound of the A465, Heads Of The Valleys Road, from Brynmawr to Gilwern showing the progress being made on the road widening. 28th February 2020.
The A465 is recognised in the Welsh Governments National Transport Plan as a strategically important route. The dualling scheme extends for 8.1km from Brynmawr in the West to
Gilwern in the East. This will connect the previously completed Section 1 (Abergavenny to Gilwern) and Section 3 (Brynmawr to Tredegar) schemes.
The scheme includes the construction of 14 major structures, over 12.5km of various types of retaining walls as well as excavation of over 1.2 million m3 of earthworks. All this through
an extremely narrow rock gorge with a river on one side while maintaining current traffic flows on the existing route, including the largest span precast concrete arch in the UK.
