Re: Newtown bypass is open
Not afraid of a bit of controversy me: 'traffic increases to fill up the road space available' unfortunately . Good excuse for a bit of buildings infill now as well.

It's not on google maps yet either - so may be a while before it becomes effective
Re: Newtown bypass is open
Ive travelled through Newtown regularly over the past 25 years to visit my parents who lived near Lampeter. Sat in traffic too many hours to remember in Newtown.
Now theyve moved to Ironbridge and I'll probably never get to 'bypass' Newtown.

Re: Newtown bypass is open
Was just there the other week. We didn't do that ride btw Stu - the temp was only -6C but it put some folk off.....
Re: Newtown bypass is open
I feel like I should definitely know this section, but it's escaping me for now.
Edit - Ahh, I don't normally go any further over than Caersws.

it's not that I can and others can't, it's that I will and others won't.

FYI, when heading back from the WRT, there was a Heddlu waiting at the top in the layby on the two lane section (cue some very heavy braking on my behalf ).
Just a heads up for anyone else who may slip on the right pedal a bit sometimes

Didn't think it would take them long.

Usually the case on new roads to catch the boy racers as well as visitors who've become frustrated sat behind caravans/tractors/cyclists for a minute or two.
