ITV News can reveal that the cost of the controversial trial junction closures in Port Talbot to help ease traffic problems has topped more than £1.3million so far. The twice daily closures at peak times of the westbound on-slip at Junction 41 of the town started early in August as part of a six month experiment.
The trial closure came in at the beginning of August and so far has cost the Welsh Government a total of £806,000. Neath Port Talbot Council has also been given a further £500,000 to carry out minor works on to the road network in preparation for the trial.
Here's a breakdown of the costs:
Initially, both the westbound on-slip and eastbound off-slip at Junction 41 were to close at peak times during the six-month trial, but in May it was confirmed that only the westbound sliproad would be subject to closures.
