Short closure on Denant Hill affects Haverfordwest approaches
Pembrokeshire motorists and residents are being asked to plan for a temporary closure of a road just outside Haverfordwest as telecoms contractors carry out underground and overhead cabling works.
Pembrokeshire County Council has confirmed a restriction on a section of Denant Hill (U6030), from its junction with Old Hakin Road (C3006) north to the junction with the U6031 leading to the B4327 Haverfordwest to Dale road. The closure came into force on Monday 28 September and is expected to run for eight working days, operating between 09:30 and 15:30 each day.
The council says the measure is to allow safe carrying out of telecom underground and overhead cabling works. The temporary traffic regulation order covers all vehicles, with specific exemptions only where listed in the order. A full copy of the order and associated details can be viewed on the Public Notice Portal.
Diversions and contingency period
While the immediate closure is scheduled for eight working days, the council has made the order valid for up to 18 months as a precaution. That window will allow for rescheduled works or any unforeseen circumstances without requiring a further legal order.
People travelling to or from Haverfordwest and nearby villages should note the signed diversion routes. The council advises drivers to follow the temporary diversion signage in place during the working hours of the closure.
- Affected section: Denant Hill (U6030) between Old Hakin Road (C3006) and the U6031 to B4327.
- Closure dates/times: From 28 September, 09:30–15:30, for eight working days.
- Order duration: Valid for up to 18 months as a safeguard.
- Diversion route: Via C3006 Old Hakin Road, C3024 Tiers Cross to White Hart Crossroads, B4327 Haverfordwest to Dale road, and U6031 via New House.
What this means for the local community
The closure is relatively short in duration but falls during daylight hours when many local journeys, school runs and deliveries take place. Those who use Denant Hill as a regular route into Haverfordwest are advised to allow a little extra time for journeys while the works are in progress. Commercial vehicles and taxis that normally route through the affected section will need to follow the signed diversions.
Local bus services and school transport providers may also adjust stops or timings to accommodate the closure; passengers should check with operators for any temporary changes. Residents with mobility needs or appointments in town should consider alternative travel arrangements where necessary.
