Dechreuodd y gwaith o adeiladu'r cynllun gwerth £139 miliwn, a gyflawnwyd gan Gyd\-fenter Balfour Beatty Jones Bros, yn 2019\. Gwnaeth y gwaith barhau drwy gydol pandemig COVID\-19 gyda mesurau ar waith i ddiogelu'r gweithlu.


Dyma un o'r prosiectau seilwaith diweddar mwyaf yng Ngogledd Cymru, ac mae'r ffordd osgoi 9\.7km yn rhedeg o gylchfan y Goat ar yr A499/A487 i gylchfan Plas Menai. Adeiladwyd 17 o strwythurau mawr fel rhan o'r cynllun a chafodd 99% o'r deunyddiau a gloddiwyd eu hailgylchu a'u hailddefnyddio ar y ffordd osgoi. Mae'r prosiect hefyd yn cynnwys gwell llwybrau teithio llesol ar gyfer cerdded a beicio yn yr ardal.


Mae'r cynllun wedi rhoi hwb i'r economi leol gyda bron i £70 miliwn yn cael ei wario gyda busnesau yng Nghymru. Gwariwyd £12 miliwn ohono ar fentrau bach a chanolig. Gwariwyd £2 miliwn hefyd gan y gweithlu adeiladu mewn siopau, busnesau a gwasanaethau lleol yn ystod y cyfnod adeiladu.


Yn ystod y cyfnod adeiladu daeth 93 y cant o'r gweithlu o ardal y Gogledd, gyda 31 y cant yn byw o fewn 10 milltir. Cafodd 36 o raddedigion a phrentisiaid eu cyflogi a’u hyfforddi tra bod 15 o bobl wedi cael profiad gwaith. Ar gyfartaledd, roedd 160 o bobl yn gweithio ar y cynllun ar unrhyw adeg yn ystod y gwaith adeiladu.


Mae mesurau wedi cael eu rhoi ar waith i leihau effaith amgylcheddol y cynllun, i wella bioamrywiaeth yn yr ardal, gan gynnwys lleoedd diogel i fywyd gwyllt. Plannwyd 170,000 o blanhigion, gan ddarparu tua 14 hectar o rywogaethau brodorol newydd, coetiroedd a phrysgwydd, yn ogystal â thros 20 cilometr o wrychoedd newydd.


Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Newid Hinsawdd sydd â chyfrifoldeb dros Drafnidiaeth, Lee Waters:



> “Mae'r prosiect hwn yn fuddsoddiad sylweddol yn yr ardal gan Lywodraeth Cymru ac mae'n dyst i'r gweithlu lleol ei fod wedi'i gwblhau cyn pryd. Yn ogystal â'r ffordd, mae'r prosiect wedi creu cysylltiadau newydd ar gyfer cerdded a beicio a fydd yn gwella iechyd ac amgylchedd cymunedau lleol.


Dywedodd Lesley Griffiths, Gweinidog Gogledd Cymru:



> “Y cynllun hwn yw un o'r rhaglenni seilwaith diweddar mwyaf yng Ngogledd Cymru. Cafodd ei gyflawni cyn pryd yn ystod cyfnod heriol dros ben. Rwy’n llongyfarch pawb a fu'n ymwneud â chyflawni'r cynllun hwn yn ystod y pandemig, gan ddiogelu eu gweithlu. Mae'n dyst i'r sgiliau a'r ymroddiad sydd gennym yma yn y Gogledd.


Dywedodd Gweinidog yr Economi, Vaughan Gething:



> “Mae ffordd osgoi Caernarfon a Bontnewydd wedi bod yn hwb i'r economi leol yn ystod y cyfnod adeiladu, gan ddarparu cyfleoedd i brentisiaid a graddedigion, tra bod busnesau a chyflenwyr hefyd wedi elwa. Yn y tymor hir, bydd y cysylltedd gwell i Ystad Ddiwydiannol Cibyn, ac ymhellach i ffwrdd, yn dda ar gyfer twf economaidd y rhanbarth.


Dywedodd Jon Muff, Arweinydd y Prosiect ar gyfer Balfour Beatty Jones Bros:



> “Rydym yn ddiolchgar iawn i'r tîm am eu gwaith caled a'u hymroddiad drwy gydol y prosiect, gan ddod â'r sgiliau a'r arbenigedd at ei gilydd ar draws ein cyd\-fenter i gysylltu cymunedau yng Nghaernarfon a Bontnewydd, gan leihau tagfeydd traffig yn sylweddol a gwella amseroedd teithio.
> 
> 
> “Rydym yn falch o'r gwaddol yr ydym yn ei adael ar ôl, sy'n cynnwys gwariant sylweddol yn yr ardal leol yn ogystal â hyfforddi a gwella sgiliau dwsinau o bobl, gan gynnwys graddedigion a phrentisiaid.


Dywedodd Gwion Lloyd, prentis peirianneg 22 oed o Harlech sydd wedi bod ar y safle ers iddo ddechrau yn 2019:



> “Mae wedi bod yn wych dysgu cymaint ar brosiect mor fawr i'r rhanbarth, ac ni allwn fod wedi gofyn am ddechrau gwell i'm gyrfa peirianneg sifil. Mae'n destun balchder mawr i mi o wybod y bydd y gymuned, gan gynnwys teulu a ffrindiau, yn gallu elwa ar y ffordd osgoi yn rheolaidd.

Construction of the £139 million scheme, delivered by the Balfour Beatty Jones Bros Joint Venture, began in 2019 with work continuing throughout the COVID\-19 pandemic with safeguards in place to protect the workforce.


One of the largest recent infrastructure projects in North Wales, the 9\.7km bypass runs from the Goat Roundabout on the A499/A487 to the Plas Menai roundabout. 17 major structures were built as part of the scheme and 99% of the excavated materials were recycled and reused on the bypass. The project also includes improved active travel routes for walking and cycling in the area.


The scheme has provided a boost for the local economy with close to £70 million spent with Welsh businesses of which £12 million was spent on small to medium enterprises. £2 million was also spent by the construction workforce in local shops, businesses and services during the construction period.


During the construction stage 93 per cent of the workforce came from the North Wales area, with 31 per cent living within a 10\-mile radius. 36 graduates and apprentices were employed and trained while 15 people received work experience. An average of 160 people worked on the scheme at any one time during construction.


Measures have been put in place to minimise the environmental impact of the scheme to improve and enhance biodiversity in the area, including safe passages for wildlife. 170,000 plants, providing around 14 hectares of new native species, woodlands and scrub, as well as over 20 kilometres of new hedgerows were also planted.


Deputy Minister for Climate Change with a responsibility for Transport Lee Waters said:



> “This projects represents a significant investment in the area by the Welsh Government and it is testimony to the local workforce that it has been completed ahead of time. As well as the road the project has created new links for walking and cycling which will improve the health and the environment of local communities.


Minister for North Wales Lesley Griffiths said:



> “This scheme is one of the largest recent infrastructure programmes in North Wales. It has been delivered ahead of time during an extremely challenging period. I congratulate all those involved for delivering this scheme during the pandemic, while keeping their workforce safe. It is a testament to the skills and commitment we have here in North Wales.


Minister for Economy Vaughan Gething said:



> “The Caernarfon and Bontnewydd bypass has been a boost for the local economy during construction, providing opportunities for apprentices and graduates, while businesses and suppliers also benefited. In the long term the improved connectivity to Cibyn Industrial Estate, and wider afield, will be good for region’s economic growth.


Jon Muff, Project Lead at Balfour Beatty Jones Bros said:



> “We are very grateful to the team for their hard work and dedication throughout the project, bringing together the skills and expertise across our joint venture to connect communities in Caernarfon and Bontnewydd whilst significantly reducing traffic congestion and improving journey times.
> 
> 
> “We are proud of the legacy we are leaving behind, which includes considerable spend in the local area as well as training and upskilling dozens of people, including graduates and apprentices.


Gwion Lloyd, a 22\-year\-old engineering apprentice from Harlech who has been on site since he started in 2019, said:



> “It has been excellent to learn so much on such a major project for the region, and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to my civil engineering career. It gives me great pride to know that the community, including family and friends, will be able to benefit from the bypass on a regular basis.
