Super highways team work the extra mile
There is no such thing as a quiet day for our Highways team as there are over 430 km of road to maintain in the County Borough.
As well as over 430 km of road, there are 17,000 gullies which the local authority aims to inspect twice yearly and clean where necessary.
This can be difficult with limited resources and adverse weather conditions which have been a feature this summer. Roads in Torfaen are currently benefiting from a £650,000 package of improvement works.
The latest works include resurfacing works along stretches of The Highway, New Inn; Newport Road, Cwmbran; Grange Road, Cwmbran; Bythway Road, Pontypool; Race Road, Pontypool and Penygarn Road, Pontypool.
Improvements to parts of A4051 Cwmbran Drive have just been completed. Work from the latest round of spending is due to finish by Christmas.
