The Council will deliver a significant Resilient Roads scheme at Turberville Road in Porth, with work starting on site from next week.
The scheme has received support from Welsh Government’s Resilient Roads Fund programme, and will aim to reduce the risk of flooding to the highway during periods of heavy rainfall.
Work will begin from Monday, November 18, and the scheme is anticipated to be completed in early spring 2025.
The scheme will deliver an upgrade to the existing highway headwall inlet structure at Turberville Road.
Improvements will also be made to the existing watercourse channel and the drainage infrastructure positioned upstream, to improve the conveyance of water to the new headwall.
Calibre Contracting Ltd has been appointed to deliver the work on site, on behalf of the Council.
The contractor will require traffic management at locations along Turberville Road to deliver some elements of the scheme, but no road closures are anticipated.
Earlier this year, Welsh Government confirmed an allocation of £500,000 to Rhondda Cynon Taf, from its Resilient Roads Fund programme for 2024/25.
It also gave approval for further funding of around £3m for flood alleviation works, subject to all permissions to proceed – linked to its funding allocations for Resilient Roads and also the Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Small Scale Works Grant.
Thanks to the community in Porth in advance for your cooperation during the upcoming work.
