Plans to temporarily close a Bridgend county borough road have been announced while polling works are carried out in the area.
They will see a section of Bridgend Road, Pont-Y-Rhyl, Pontycymer closed across a number of days in October 2026.
Polling works allow for utility or telecom companies to install, inspect, or replace utility poles such as telephone or electricity poles.
A public notice on the closure said it anticipated the planned works would be carried out between the hours of 9am and 5pm from October 26 to 31.
The notice said: “No person shall cause any vehicle to proceed for approximately 500 metres of Bridgend Road, Pont-Y-Rhyl, Pontycymer, from near A4064 to near Garwfechan Road.
“The alternative route for vehicles is via Bridgend Road, Treharne Row, Beech Road, Bridgend Road, Oxford Street, Pant-Y-Gog, Cuckoo Street, A4064, Bridgend Road, and vice versa.
“Access cannot be provided through the restriction for Police, Fire and Ambulance Services responding to emergencies.
