The A465 has recently been widened into a dual carriageway which has meant the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal has been slightly diverted here.

The newly built bridge 101A over the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal was constructed to carry the widened A465, now upgraded to a dual carriageway. This replaced an earlier bridge, see: [[[108189]]]

Houses on the eastern side of a cul-de-sac named Cross Roads, viewed across Abergavenny Road. Confusingly, about 150 metres to the west, is a road named Crossroads.http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2122503

Compare this bridge with the one taken in January of the same site. The A465 is being upgrade from a three lane to full dual carriageway. So the opportunity was taken to ease the navigation around this awkward corner.

Dist:0.2km<br/>There is plenty of scope for confusion here. The road ahead is named Crossroads, viewed from a T junction (not crossroads) with Abergavenny Road. And 150 metres east of here, a cul-de-sac named Cross Roads http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2122522 connects with the other side of Abergavenny Road. No doubt it is all perfectly clear to locals...
