Drivers on the A470 between Rhondda Cynon Taf and Cardiff are facing long delays this morning as emergency lane repairs continue following a lorry crash on Wednesday. The central reservation was damaged in the incident, leading to one lane closure in each direction between Pontypridd and Upper Boat.
Repairs Expected to Take Several Days
Traffic Wales has confirmed that the emergency repairs are expected to take "several days" and has urged drivers to allow extra time for their journeys. The lane closures are causing significant queues both heading to and from Cardiff.
According to Traffic Wales, the crash occurred on Wednesday morning, and the damage to the central reservation necessitated immediate repair work. One lane remains closed in both directions to facilitate the repairs.
