Rhondda Cynon Taf Council says the Maerdy Mountain Road, linking Maerdy and Aberdare will reopen on 27th September after months of repairs.

A landslip caused by prolonged rainfall in December 2015 affected a 150-metre stretch at Aberdare’s end of the road.

The scale and complexity of the work which was required to repair and future proof the road should not be underestimated and it is a real positive that the Highway works will be completed by September 27.

I’m sure this news will be welcomed by regular users of this Cynon-Rhondda gateway and they can be assured that we will take the earliest possible opportunity to re-open the road to traffic – even if this means temporary traffic.

– Councillor Andrew Morgan, Leader of Rhondda Cynon Taf Council
