Looking eastward along the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road as it approaches the Tredegar turnoff. Behind the viewpoint is the section of the road from Dowlais Top to Tredegar that was dualled from 2002-4 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3252820 . In anticipation of the continued dualling beyond Tredegar, slip roads were constructed to a roundabout and a huge ridge of earth was left to take the future dual carriageway over the roundabout. This plan was subsequently changed to take the road under the roundabout. Work on this has now started and this photo shows work in progress to remove the ridge of earth. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3161528 for a picture before this work was started.
