Llanharan footbridge

Closing a level crossing to create a safer railway in Wales.

We’ve been working near Llanharan to prepare for a ramped footbridge. This enables the permanent closure of Trenos level crossing and provides a safe and reliable crossing for everyone. We want to thank you for your patience while we continue this work.

A temporary footbridge was constructed and opened in June 2024. This allows a safe way for users to cross the railway tracks onto Brynna Woods in time for summer. We’ll soon be back to prepare to install a new bridleway bridge, to be opened in early 2025.

Trenos is a public footpath crossing and is ranked as the  8th highest-risk pedestrian crossing in Wales. The sighting at the crossing is limited as the railway significantly curves. This means that people currently rely on hearing the train horn when approaching.

This bridleway footbridge at Llanharan will be the first of its kind in Wales.

When are you working in the area?

The majority of our work has been completed. We are putting the finishing touches to connect the ramps to the bridleways in the area and return the site back to how it was previously.

This work might be noisy and we’re sorry for any disturbance caused.
