The A40 Llanddewi Velfrey to Redstone Cross road scheme in Pembrokeshire has been officially opened by Wales’ First Minister and Transport Secretary - thanks to a £60 million joint investment by Welsh Government and the EU. The scheme, which was officially opened on Friday, May 2 by the First Minister, Eluned Morgan will improve connectivity, reduce journey times, provide extra resilience and reliability, and enhance road safety. It delivers a new 6km upgrade to the old road, a new carriageway, new roundabouts, 2 new bridges, 22 culverts, a new active travel route and environmental landscaping with over 450,000 plants and trees.
00:00So I'm delighted to have opened officially the A40 today, a bypass, six kilometres of it, it's taken four years to build, it's cost £60 million, it's employed about 2,000 people and 300,000 plants align the road.
00:20So this is a phenomenal achievement and we hope it will open up the economy of West Wales, improve the tourism sector and make it easier for local people.
