A FOOTBRIDGE over the Afon Lwyd river in Pontnewynydd will be closed for six weeks for work to improve access into Pontnewynydd Park.

The bridge crosses the river by Fairview Court. It will have a more user friendly ramp into Pontnewynydd Park.

The bridge will close on Monday February 4 as part of an ongoing project to improve the park.

Access to the park from the Hospital Road entrances will be unaffected.
