On March 3rd, a massive landslip struck below the road between CEO Mioi and Anthony in Monmouthshire, on January 30th, creating a steep drop-right. Next to the lane and forcing officials to shut it down completely. The only way around now runs along a narrow single track path over Wales's highest mountain road, which can add up to 1 hour 15 minutes or more. To trips that used to take just 30 minutes, like getting to nearby Avergavini, locals in the village of about 150 people feel cut off, with elderly residents facing two-hour drives to see family or reach hospitals. Kids missing clubs and friends, and no male deliveries because the route is too risky. Farmers worry most about their animals, as heavy trucks with feed and fuel can't handle the detour, leaving hundreds of sheep short on hay ahead of, landing season, and risking their health and livelihoods without quick, veterinary help. Local engineers have inspected the site, confirmed ongoing dangers under the surface, and started designing a permanent fix while coordinating.
Emergency services, but residents push for a short-term path across nearby fields to ease the strain right away.
