A465 Overnight Closures from Cefn Coed (Junction with A470) to Hirwaun. 11 and 12 May 2O23.
As part of the work to upgrade the A465 to a dual carriageway, the A465 between Cefn Coed (A470 junction) and Hirwaun roundabouts will be closed in both directions overnight on:
Thursday 11 May 2023
Friday 12 May 2023
On these dates, the road will close at 20:00hrs and re-open at 06:00hrs the following morning.

The closures are required to undertake work that cannot be safely completed whilst the road is open or under traffic management.
