Ar ôl i'r ffordd gael ei chwblhau, bydd o fudd i gymunedau lleol ac i bobl sy'n teithio. Dyma ychydig o ffeithiau am y cynllun.  

  

**1\.** Mae dros 90 y cant o'r gweithlu'n Gymry neu’n byw yng Nghymru. Mae’r contractwyr, Jones Bros (Rhuthun) a Balfour Beatty Construction, wedi cyflogi 18 o gwmnïau lleol i wneud gwaith gwerth £480,000 a gafodd ei is\-gontractio ac mae ganddynt archebion gyda 26 o gyflenwyr lleol ar hyn o bryd.

**2\.** Hyd yma, mae 14 o brentisiaid ar y safle ac mae contractwyr y prosiect wedi cyflogi 13 o weithwyr newydd ers i'r gwaith adeiladu ddechrau. Cyflogwyd pedwar o raddedigion dros yr haf hefyd er mwyn iddynt gael magu profiad gwerthfawr drwy gynorthwyo'r tîm ar y safle gyda gwaith peirianyddol, gweinyddol, ac iechyd a diogelwch.

**3\.** Daeth archaeolegwyr o hyd i ganŵ o'r Oes Efydd ar y safle. Daethpwyd o hyd i'r ceufad, a gafodd ei wneud drwy gafnu derwen, o dan dwmpath wedi'i losgi a oedd yn dyddio'n ôl 3,500 o flynyddoedd. Dyma'r darganfyddiad cyntaf o'i fath yn y Gogledd.  Cafodd rhan fawr o ffordd Rufeinig ei chloddio hefyd.

**4\.** Mae oddeutu 300 o blant ysgol wedi bod yn gysylltiedig â'r prosiect hyd yma. Fel rhan o’u cynllunio gyrfaol, mae grwpiau o ddisgyblion ysgol dan 16 oed wedi bod ar daith o amgylch y safle ac mewn sesiwn flasu.

**5\.** Mae dros 30 o ecolegwyr wedi treulio rhyw 1,500 o oriau yn cynnal gwiriadau helaeth a chwiliadau er mwyn adnabod a gwarchod bywyd gwyllt yn ystod y gwaith. Bu'n rhaid torri nifer o'r coed ar hyd llwybr y ffordd, ond fodd bynnag, mae'r contractwyr wedi plannu mwyn o lystyfiant nag y maent wedi’i godi. Mae'r gwaith hwnnw'n cynnwys 13 o hectarau o goetir newydd; 23 km o berthi newydd a 30 o hectarau o laswelltir cyfoethog ei rywogaethau. Bydd camau sylweddol i warchod cynefinoedd dyfrgwn, ystlumod, llygod pengrwn y dŵr a physgod yn cael eu gweithredu, gan gynnwys gosod cwlferi a phibellau, ynghyd ag adlinio cyrsiau dŵr.

When completed it will deliver benefits for local communities and the travelling public. Here are some facts about the scheme.  

 


**1\.** Over 90 per cent of the workforce are Welsh or live in Wales. The contractors, Jones Bros (Ruthin) and Balfour Beatty Construction,  engaged 18 local companies to carry out subcontracted work to the value of £480,000 and currently have orders placed with 26 local suppliers.

**2\.** To date, 14 apprentices are on site and the project contractors have employed 13 new starters since the start of construction.  Four summer graduates were also employed to gain valuable experience assisting the site team in engineering, administration and Health and Safety roles.

**3\.** A Bronze Age canoe was unearthed by archaeologists on the site. The dug\-out canoe made from a hollowed oak tree was found underneath a burnt mound dating back 3,500 years.  It was the first discovery of its kind in North Wales.  A large section of Roman road has also been excavated.

**4\.** Around 300 school children have been involved with this project to date. Groups of under 16s school pupils as part of their career planning have been on a tour and attended a site taster day.

**5\.** 30 ecologists spent around 1,500 hours carried out extensive checks and searches to identify and protect wildlife during the operation.  

The removal of a number of trees along the route has been necessary. However, the contactors have planted more vegetation than they removed. This includes 13 hectares of new woodland; 23Km of new hedgerows and 30 hectares of species\-rich grassland. Significant measures to protect the habitat of otters, bats, water voles and fish will be implemented including installation of culverts and pipes together with the realignment of water courses.
