A477 St Clears to Red Roses Improvement, Wales
February 2010

SRB Civil Engineering, a joint venture between John Sisk & Son Ltd and Roadbridge have been awarded the contract for the A477 St Clears to Red Roses Improvement.

The A477 from St Clears all the way to Pembroke Dock is one of the main links from the M4 motorway into Pembrokeshire. It forms an important part of the Welsh Assembly Government’s strategic road network. This 9.6km scheme will bypass the villages of Llanddowror and Red Roses, cross the River Hydfron and pass through several environmentally sensitive areas including the Taf Valley. It includes online improvement works between St.Clears and Pont Newydd, as well as the construction of 8.7km of ‘offline’ carriageway, built through mainly agricultural land.

Environmental constraints on the route include sites of both National and European significance including the Carmarthen Bay and Estuaries SAC.

It will greatly improve the alignment of the road, raise safety standards and improve journey times and journey time reliability. Contract Type is Early Contractor Involvement and the project is due for completion in late 2014.
