Caerphilly Road Closed Over Landslip Fears
A section of the A469 in Caerphilly is set to be closed for up to two years due to a significant landslip risk caused by ongoing land movement and increased rainfall, with repairs costing at least £20 million. The closure aims to prevent catastrophic failure and protect lives and properties, but it raises concerns among local businesses and residents about long-term disruption and economic impact. The project, delayed until autumn, is part of a long-term effort to secure the road's future and address historical landslip issues linked to past coal mining.
