More roadworks to come on Castle Street
* The roadworks on the bridge due to be finished today.
As one set of roadworks on Castle Street comes to an end the water company which has been carrying them out has warned of more to come.
Since last Friday there have been temporary traffic lights on the bridge to allow Hafren Dyfrdwy to repair a burst pipe under the roadway.
A spokesperson for the company said: "The work in question is in relation to a 3-inch cast iron main which has suffered a burst.
"We have actually already repaired the main and the excavation was back-filled yesterday (Monday).
"Full reinstatement and removal of traffic management should be completed tomorrow (Wednesday)."
She added: "It seems sensible that I should take the opportunity to inform you of some additional work that we will soon be doing in Castle St to replace a defective fire hydrant.
"We’re in conversation with the council about this work and had hoped that we might be able to do it at the same time as repairing the water main but this has not been possible due to the traffic management requirements.
"It not the easiest place to set up traffic management and we know it can be an inconvenience so we’re very appreciative of the patience and understanding of our customers as we complete our essential works ensuring continuity of supply as well as ensuring the fire service have a reliable network for use in emergencies."
