Good views! If I never met Lloyd I would never see such great footage of drones!

Worst.

Interesting video showing the development at Vale of Neath. Mini roundabout soon to be gone it seems. If you include 'A465' in the title you will get a lot more views. You could do one of Taf Fawr and also Baverstock. Then there's Bryniau Bridge.

thank you for the feedback man, appreciate it. will have to make some time to capture the ones you've listed.

[@HarryOld972]

Thank you for the response, and I see you've tagged it A465. What's interesting, 1. Taf Fawr. We're all waiting for the mainline carriageways to open so we don't have to queue for the A470 roundabout, but that can't happen until they've done the slip roads. What's missing is the westbound off-slip (over the old bridge now being re-conditioned), the new south roundabout that is being built (used to be the main roundabout), and the westbound on-slip up away from the roundabout (used to be the old road) which has been stripped back to base layer. You can't see most of this from the road. 2. Baverstock. Elsewhere most sections are close to having the main carriageways black topped, but Baverstock they're still grading. Again you can't see anything from the road. 3. Bryniau bridge. When they've finished the new bridge and opened it, then they can take out the Pant temporary roundabout (known as the pants roundabout) which will cause a sigh of relief locally. How is the new bridge getting on, parapets, surfacing etc.? How is the retaining wall north east of the new bridge getting on? I hope this is useful.

@@lloyds_drones what drone do you use, I want to buy one at some point I heard the Dji mini 2 is good

[@lloyds_drones]

im using the dji mavic 3 classic, its one of the more restrictive in terms of regulations but aslong as you keep your distance your good also, if your thinking of getting one either get a dji mini 4k or mini 3, hope this helps.

The road to nowhere. Billions spent on this which carries a fraction of the traffic that is gridlocked almost daily on the M4 at the Brynglas tunnels

[@trevormiller9400]

Exactly the same waste of money as the A465 from Brynmawr to Abergavenny. All that overspending of millions , then to impose a 50 average speed on not much traffic

[@turquoisecat761]

@@trevormiller9400 My experience of almost daily use of that stretch of road isn't "not much traffic"
