When It is completed it will be a great road to the Midlands.
some great views along the way and much nicer than that damned m4 with all its own 50mph restrictions. Shame that Monmouth can't be bypassed as well.
It is an absolute pain at the moment and is adding so much time with hold ups at Hirwaun, Bavistock, Merthyr and Dowlais Top. It does seem to be an endless wait but for future travellers it will be so much better.
I did like it before mind!

Im up around Blackwood/Nelson/Ystrad Mynach way next couple of weeks, :shock:
 
Was always a disaster road for accidents back in the day. Will be nice when finished mind. Have the poor sods from Brynmawr been released yet?
