Work started this week to carry out improvements to a section of road on the route in and out of Tenby.

Pembrokeshire County Council recently secured funding to improve the junction on the A4218/A478 Narberth Road, by remodelling a section of the road, as the second phase of a Welsh Government funded Road Safety Grant scheme.

A report from PCC’s senior traffic engineer, Ben Blake, recently outlined that the option of introducing a mini roundabout addressed the main concerns raised, which is the principal aim of the revised layout.

The junction at Upper Hill Park with Narberth Road will remain closed to make it safer whilst the works are carried out.

Vehicles wishing to access Upper Hill Park, Seascape and Lady Park, will have to use the junction off Narberth Road by the ‘welcome to Tenby’ sign.

Plans submitted by PCC explained that the scheme would look to improve road and pedestrian safety at the junction by way of providing a more conventional and simplified layout to that currently found, and address traffic flow issues, turning movements, as well as introducing speed reduction benefits.

The works are scheduled to take approximately 12 weeks to complete.
