Dyfed Powys Police have warned that the A40 the eastbound and westbound lanes of the dual carriageway between Carmarthen and St Clears will remain closed until later this afternoon.
Meanwhile Transport for Wales have cancelled several of their serves between Cardiff and Carmarthen this morning due to signal and power issues, whilst there will be no services running on the heart of Wales line between Swansea and Shrewsbury with limited replacement transport available.
With Swansea City facing Queens Park Rangers at the Swansea.com stadium this afternoon, this is likely to produce a logistical nightmare for travelling fans to the encounter kicking off at 3pm.
The mass of usual Bank Holiday traffic is also likely to face further congestion with the back log faced by motorists seeking alternate methods of reaching destinations.
A statement from Transport for Wales said:
“Due to signalling and power issues between Bridgend and Llanelli, Transport for Wales is unable to run services between Cardiff and Carmarthen and on the Heart of Wales line between Swansea and Shrewsbury,”
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesperson said this morning:
“The A40, eastbound and westbound between Carmarthen and St Clears, remains closed.
“We anticipate high volumes of traffic due to Easter Bank Holiday – please avoid this route as it is likely to remain closed until later this afternoon.
“Access to the showground is possible from Carmarthen and officers are at B&Q roundabout providing direction.”
