THE SCHEDULE ROUTE OF THE NEW TRUNK ROAD

The route of the new trunk road is as follows:—

A route about 1,825 metres in length starting at a point on Narberth Road about 330 metres west of the access to Bethany Farm and going in a north-easterly and then north-westerly direction to a point about 180 metres north of the junction of Withybush Road with the trunk road.

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes an Order made under section 1 of the Trunk Roads Act 1936 (c. 5) which provided for a By-pass of the London-Fishguard Trunk Road at Haverfordwest, and also an Order made under section 4 of the Trunk Roads Act 1946 (c. 30), which provided for a junction improvement at Cardigan Road on the London-Fishguard Trunk Road at Haverfordwest. In its place the Order lays down the centre line of a proposed trunk road which if constructed would allow for an Eastern By-pass of Haverfordwest.
