CONSTRUCHON work is to start at once on the second patt of the Neath by-pass. The first part of the scheme, already completed, carries traffic on the Cardiff—Swansea—Fishguard road over a series of railways and waterways from Briton Ferry to Earlswood.
The second part will start at Earls' wood and run north-west for 21 miles to Lonlas to join the A48 road. The project will provide a direct road between Swansea and West Wales, and enable traffic to and from Port Talbot, Carditl and the East to avoid pile detour between 'Briton Ferry and Lonlas.
