Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes an Order made under Section 7 of the Highways Act 1959, which provided for a diversion of the Llandeilo-Carmarthen Trunk Road at Llandyfeisant in the County of Dyfed.

In its place, the Order lays down the centre lines of a proposed trunk road which, if constructed, would allow for a northern by-pass of Llandeilo. The Order also provides for the de-trunking of the superseded trunk road.
