WORKS to repair and fully re-open the A484 between Newcastle Emlyn and Carmarthen at Cwmduad are scheduled for completion in June.
The road was partially re-opened in March, following extensive work to clear and make the area safe after a landslide which claimed the life of 21-year-old Newcastle Emlyn man Corey Sharpling during Storm Callum last October.
Carmarthenshire County Council’s highways team has been leading a highly complex operation to clear the road and stabilise the land.
Contractors are due back on site at the end of this month as work continues to rebuild a parapet wall before the road can be fully re-opened.
The programmed completion date for re-opening is June 7.
Cllr Hazel Evans, executive board member for environment, said: “We understand that this has had a major impact on the local community and road users, and we would like to thank them for their patience and co-operation while the recovery and repair works have been carried out.
“This has been a very complex operation involving a number of agencies and the safety of the public has been paramount. Please be assured works are continuing and the end is now in sight.”
