News: Completion of Church Village Bypass

A major new road scheme in South Wales has opened to the public after 2 years of construction and over 20 years of campaigning and hard work.

ChandlerKBS provided the procurement and cost management advice for Rhondda Cynon Taf Council on the Church Village Bypass scheme.

The £90 million Bypass stretches over 7km and was the largest project of its kind undertaken by a local authority in the UK over the past 2 years. It is seen as strategically important for the economic regeneration of the whole of Rhondda Cynon Taf.

The Bypass will remove traffic from the surrounding residential areas and the heavily congested A473 whilst providing environmental and safety benefits to local residents, shoppers and businesses.

The Church Village Bypass has been a major achievement for ChandlerKBS as the project was delivered on time and within budget and provided an outstanding example of effective partnership working.

All contractors in the supply chain were encouraged to work collaboratively and to share in any cost savings that were made by this approach.
