Heads of the Valley road upgrade is finally coming to an end after 23 years and £2 Billion spent.
Known locally as "The Road to Hell" it kind of sums up Devolution to Wales |  |

3 section are currently 70mph but the last section finished, Clydach gorge has a 50mph limit. A big money earner for the Welsh government as all vehicles have to brake from 70mph to 50mph as they approach it. No reason a modern dual carriageways should have a lower speed limit than the single carriageway it replaced. |
Coming down from 70 to 50 is not a big deal, Signs will be seen in advance. if any driver can't do this then they shouldn't be driving |  | | |

Needless braking down the hill towards the Abergavenny turnoff then it continues along the flat section and straight is ridiculous and unnecessary.
I thought the whole idea of the new upgrade was to improve the movement of traffic which as you say travelled faster prior to the new carriageways.
I used to thumb lifts every Saturday dinner time to travel home to Swansea when based at Cwrt Y Gollen so I remember the road well . | |

Basically the reduced speed limits have rendered the entire project pointless. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Wait for the "50 to reduce pollution" signs to go up. |  | | |
