The site team from Balfour Beatty and Jones Bros have continued throughout the COVID\-19 pandemic with strict control measures in place to protect the workforce.


The Welsh Government is investing £135m in the scheme which is one of the largest infrastructure projects currently underway in North Wales. The 9\.8km bypass will run from the Goat roundabout on the A499/A487 junction to the Plas Menai roundabout around Llanwnda, Dinas, Bontnewydd and Caernarfon.


The scheme will deliver improved travel times, reduce congestion and improve air quality on local roads, and lead to more opportunities for active travel.


As part of this major project two viaducts are being built, with one spanning the Afon Gwyrfai to the west of Bontnewydd and the other crossing the Afon Seiont.  Over the past few weeks steel beams have been delivered to the site and construction of the viaduct decks is now underway.


The Afon Gwyrfai viaduct will be 6m above the flood plain and 260m in length whilst the Afon Seiont viaduct will run 21m above the river and is 148m in length.


These bridges are due to be completed in August 2021\.


The construction of the bypass is also bringing economic benefits to the region with 93 per cent of the workforce from North Wales.  Local suppliers have benefited from the contract having received 85 per cent of the material orders. In addition, 32 graduates, interns and apprentices are being employed on the project, gaining valuable experience.


Minister for Transport and North Wales Ken Skates said:



> “I am pleased to see the progress on the Caernarfon and Bontnewydd bypass, which is a major project in North West Wales.  When complete it will deliver a real difference to the local community, removing congestion and improving air quality. 
> 
> 
> "The construction team are now moving on to one of the major milestones of the project as construction on the two viaduct bridge decks begins.  I look forward to hearing more about the progress on this which is one of the largest infrastructure projects underway in the region.
> 
> 
> “We must also remember that it is not only the finished product which will make a difference.  Throughout the construction phase there are benefits for the local community through the supply chain and employment and training opportunities.”


Jon Muff, structures lead for the joint venture, said:



> “We’ve made excellent progress this year having completed the foundations and piers construction for these two bridges and it’s now great to see the beams being lifted into place as we programmed. Two specialist lifting cranes, one  which can lift 500 tonnes, are being used to undertake these complex beam lifting operations.
> 
> 
> “Bringing the specialist equipment and material to site has meant transporting a number of abnormal loads on local roads, so we’d like to thank the community and commuters for their patience.
> 
> 
> “This project will also have real long\-term benefits for local businesses on top of the investment we’ve been part of, which is something we’re very pleased about.”

Mae tîm y safle o Balfour Beatty a Jones Bros wedi parhau drwy gyfnod COVID\-19 gyda mesurau rheoli llym wedi’u sefydlu i warchod y gweithlu. 


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn buddsoddi £135m yn y cynllun sydd yn un o’r prosiectau seilwaith mwyaf sy’n digwydd ar hyn o bryd yng Ngogledd Cymru.   Bydd y ffordd osgoi 9\.8km yn rhedeg o gylchfan y Goat ar gyffordd yr A499/A487 i gylchfan Plas Menai ger Llanwnda, Dinas, Bontnewydd a Chaernarfon.


Bydd y cynllun yn sicrhau amseroedd teithio gwell, llai o dagfeydd ac yn gwella ansawdd yr aer ar ffyrdd lleol, gan arwain at fwy o gyfleoedd ar gyfer teithio llesol. 


Fel rhan o’r prosiect mawr hwn mae dwy draphont yn cael eu hadeiladu, gydag un yn mynd ar draws yr Afon Gwyrfai i’r gorllewin o Bontnewydd a’r llall yn croesi’r Afon Seiont.  Dros yr ychydig wythnosau nesaf mae trawstiau dur wedi’u danfon i’r safle ac mae deciau’r traphynt bellach yn cael eu hadeiladu. 


Bydd traphont yr Afon Gwyrfai 6m uwchben y gorlifdir ac yn 260m o hyd tra y bydd traphont yr Afon Seiont yn rhedeg 21m uwchben yr afon ac yn 148m o hyd. 


Mae’r pontydd hyn i gael eu cwblhau ym mis Awst 2021\. 


Daw adeiladu’r ffordd osgoi â manteision economaidd i’r ardal hefyd gyda 93 y cant o’r gweithlu o Ogledd Cymru.  Mae cyflenwyr lleol wedi elwa o’r contract ac wedi derbyn 85 y cant o’r archebion deunyddiau.  Hefyd, mae 32 o raddedigion, interniaid a phrentisiaid wedi eu cyflogi ar y prosiect, gan fagu profiad gwerthfawr. 


Meddai’r Gweinidog Trafnidiaeth a Gogledd Cymru:



> “Dwi’n falch o weld y datblygiadau ar ffordd osgoi Caernarfon a Bontnewydd, sy’n brosiect mawr yng Ngogledd\-orllewin Cymru.  Pan fydd wedi’i gwblhau, bydd yn gwneud gwahaniaeth mawr i’r gymuned leol, gan ddileu tagfeydd a gwella ansawdd yr aer.    
> 
> 
> “Mae’r tîm adeiladu bellach yn symud ymlaen i un o gerrig milltir mwyaf y prosiect wrth i’r adeiladu ddechrau ar ddeciau y ddwy draphont.  Dwi’n edrych ymlaen at glywed mwy am y cynnydd ar hyn sydd yn un o’r prosiectau seilwaith mwyaf y rhanbarth. 
> 
> 
> “Mae’n rhaid inni gofio hefyd mai nid dim ond y traphynt fydd yn gwneud gwahaniaeth.  Trwy gydol y cyfnod adeiladu mae manteision i’r gymuned leol drwy’r gadwyn cyflenwi a chyfleoedd ar gyfer gwaith a hyfforddiant.”


Meddai Jon Muff, arweinydd strwythurau y fenter ar y cyd:



> “Rydyn ni wedi gwneud cynnydd rhagorol eleni ac wedi adeiladu’r sylfeini a’r pileri ar gyfer adeiladu’r ddwy bont yma, ac mae bellach yn wych gweld y trawstiau yn cael eu codi i’w lle yn ôl y rhaglen.  Mae dau o graeniau codi arbenigol, un ohonynt yn gallu codi 500 tunnell, yn cael eu defnyddio i wneud y gwaith codi trawstiau cymhleth hwn. 
> 
> 
> “Mae dod â’r offer a’r deunydd arbenigol hwn i’r safle wedi golygu cludo nifer o lwythi anghyffredin ar ffyrdd lleol, felly hoffem ddiolch i’r gymuned a’r cymudwyr am eu hamynedd. 
> 
> 
> “Bydd manteision gwirioneddol hirdymor i fusensau lleol o’r prosiect hwn hefyd, yn ychwanegol i’r buddsoddiad rydyn ni wedi bod yn rhan ohono, sy’n rhywbeth rydyn ni’n falch iawn ohono.”
