PLANNED work to renew the surface of the level crossing in Tirydail will lead to a full road closure this weekend.

The level crossing on Station Road will be closed on the nights of Saturday, October 15 to Sunday morning and the evening of Sunday, October 16 through to Monday morning. The road will be closed from the hours of 10pm to 7am.

In a letter to residents Network Rail say the core part of the work will be to renew the surface of the level crossing and as safety is their number one priority a large amount of the work must be carried out while trains are not running.

It goes on to say that throughout the duration of the work, Network Rail and their partners will endeavour to work responsibly. And while equipment they use means some disturbance is unavoidable, they will make every effort to minimise any unnecessary noise.
