The new Porth Relief Road has opened to traffic just in time for Christmas.
The £85m project has been built in a partnership between Rhondda Cynon Taf Council and construction company Costain with funding from the Welsh Assembly Government.
Councillor Eudine Hanagan, Cabinet Member for Better Public Services and Transport, Rhondda Cynon Taf, and Rhondda Cynon Taf Leader, Cllr Russell Roberts, joined members of the construction team to celebrate the opening.
Councillor Hanagan said: “We are delighted to see the road open. It will make a huge difference to everyone living nearby and will encourage business and investment into the area.”
Cllr Roberts said: “The partnership team’s aim was to open the road at the earliest opportunity and we are very pleased that this has been achieved.”
