A465 H.O.V Road Dualling  - Brynmawr to Gilwern - Page 1 

Section 2 of the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road

Converting the 8km of the A465 between the Glanbaiden junction at Gilwern and the Brynmawr roundabout to 2 lanes in each direction, began at the end of 2014 and is due for completion by late 2018.

Since this work commenced, it has been difficult to get any vantage points to take photographs of the work, but Gwyn Jenkins, who is the proprieter of Jenson Travel of Pontypool, has taken some aerial photos near the Brynmawr roundabout and uploaded them to Facebook. We contacted Gwyn and he kindly gave us permission to use them on this website.
