Terminal roundabout, view north (see all photos of the same view)

The terminal roundabout has progressed enormously in a very short space of time: three months ago this was bare earth without even earthworks completed, and now has landscaped, grassed embankments and kerblines. A first course of tarmac is being laid on the roundabout and the machinery can be seen at work.

The Heads of the Valleys

The A465 Heads of the Valleys Road is one of the most spectacular trunk roads in the UK, and building it required some of the most remarkable civil engineering. This is the story of how the road was built in the 1960s, and how it's being rebuilt today.
