Ten projects across Monmouthshire are to receive a share of more than £7.5m in funding from the Welsh Government.

The Abergavenny/Llanfoist active travel bridge, renovation of Chainbridge and the B4245 at Undy are just some of the projects which will benefit.

The funding will be made available through the Regional Transport Fund and forms part of the Cardiff Capital Region’s Regional Transport Delivery Plan.

In Monmouthshire, this includes projects in both the north and south of the county, to improve public transport, highways, active and inclusive travel and road safety.

The Abergavenny/Llanfoist active travel bridge and links will receive £3.6million, while the renovation works being carried out at Chainbridge will benefit from £1.5million.

Elsewhere, work on road safety on the B4245 at the entrance to Undy village will receive £480,000 and £400,000 will go to a new bus/rail interchange in Chepstow.

Monmouthshire County Council will continue development work on the Monmouth Active Travel bridge, and the Severn Tunnel Junction footbridge to facilitate bids for construction funding.
