About the same Keith. The A44 over Radnor Forest has never been a road that is that busy with lorries, just a few now and again. Most of the heavy stuff come in on the A470 or the A483 from South and North Wales.
Cheers Dave.

That’s quite an emotive photo, Dave. Sad to see the landscape changing so drastically, but it’s providing much-needed work and materials.
