A MAJOR milestone in the construction of the £136 million Caernarfon and Bontnewydd bypass has been reached, as work on two viaducts begins. Steel erection has got underway on the bridge decks of the two viaducts which are a key part of the scheme. The site team from Balfour Beatty and Jones Bros have continued throughout the Covid 19 pandemic with strict control measures in place to protect the workforce. The Welsh Government is investing £135m in the scheme which is one of the largest infrastructure projects currently underway in North Wales. The 9.8km bypass will run from the Goat roundabout on the A499/A487 junction to the Plas Menai roundabout around Llanwnda, Dinas, Bontnewydd and Caernarfon.

Although SWAT looked a little different this year, we were still able to provide 19 families with pizza from Papa John’s of Madisonville, a Christmas dinner donated by Kroger of Powderly, as well as gifts to 44 children. Children were also given small dental care kits with supplies donated by the Dollar General of Princeton and Dr. Gamble at the Crofton Dental Center.
