Monmouthshire County Council is set to commence work on resurfacing the Wye Bridge, Monmouth, on 22 April 2025.

The work is expected to last 10 weeks and will be undertaken overnight, Sunday to Thursday, to minimise disruption.

Between 8pm and 6am, Sunday to Thursday, the bridge will be closed to traffic, except for the emergency services. Pedestrian access will be available throughout the project. A signed diversion will be in place for non-emergency service vehicles.

The resurfacing work will involve lifting sections of the existing surface and replacing them with a temporary sacrificial surface, allowing traffic to use the bridge the following day. Once sufficient sections are completed, the sacrificial surface will be removed, and the bridge will be fully resurfaced with a permanent sealed layer of tarmac.

Monmouthshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and the Environment, Cllr Catrin Maby, said: “This is essential work to resurface the Wye Bridge. I thank residents and visitors for their cooperation during the work.”
