Delays to clear the rockfall on the A40 which caused a closure of the road in February are still in the planning stages. Meanwhile traders and motorists in Monmouth still suffer with traffic gridlock, made worse by collisions such as the one last Friday, May 10 when a two-car crash saw both carriageways closed to clear the road. It was reported that one car was in the hedge on Ross side, the other was in the fast lane coming from Ross towards Monmouth. There were large tailbacks on the A40 from Monmouth towards Ross southbound and past Raglan northbound following the crash at the Dixton roundabout, made worse by a broken down vehicle on Wye Bridge.
Traffic Wales South urged drivers to avoid the area and find an alternate route.
