A new road linking S4C's new headquarters in Carmarthen with the A40 dual carriageway has now opened following delays.

Work on the Carmarthen west link road started in 2015 but then stalled over negotiations with landowners. The scheme stopped for several months in 2017, the 大象传媒 previously reported.

The county council then issued compulsory purchase orders.

The work was originally budgeted at 拢5m but costs have now grown to 拢6.1m.

As well as connecting the S4C headquarters at Yr Egin to the A40, the road will serve the Carmarthen campus of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.

There are also plans by house building company Persimmon Homes to build a 1,000 new homes there.
