GWEINIDOGION CYMRU wedi gwneud Gorchymyn o dan adran 14 o Ddeddf Rheoleiddio Traffig Ffyrdd 1984. Mae angen y Gorchymyn arfaethedig er mwyn gwneud gwaith ar gefnffordd yr A40 wrth Leys Bends, Sir Fynwy neu gerllaw iddi.

Effaith y Gorchymyn fydd gwneud y canlynol dros dro:

i) cau cerbytffordd tua’r dwyrain y darn o gefnffordd yr A40 a bennir yn Atodlen 1 i’r Hysbysiad hwn. Bydd gwrthlif yn weithredol yn lôn allanol y gerbytffordd tua’r gorllewin a fydd yn aros ar agor i draffig. Gwaherddir cerbydau sy’n lletach na 2.9 fetr rhag defnyddio’r gwrthlif. Disgrifir y llwybr arall ar gyfer cerbydau sy’n lletach na 2.9 fetr yn yr Atodlen honno.

ii) gwahardd pob cerbyd, ac eithrio’r rhai a ddefnyddir gan y gwasanaethau brys ac ar gyfer y gwaith, rhag mynd ar y darnau o gefnffordd yr A40 a bennir yn Atodlen 2 i’r Hysbysiad hwn. Disgrifir y llwybrau eraill yn yr Atodlen honno.

iii) gwahardd pob beiciwr a cherddwr rhag mynd ar y darnau o gefnffordd yr A40 a bennir yn Atodlen 3 i’r Hysbysiad hwn.

iv) gosod terfyn cyflymder 40 milltir yr awr ar y darnau o gefnffordd yr A40 a bennir yn Atodlen 4 i’r Hysbysiad hwn.

Daw’r Gorchymyn i rym ar 1 Medi 2025. Bydd yr achos o gau ffordd dros dro a bennir yn Atodlen 2 i’r Hysbysiad hwn yn weithredol yn ystod oriau’r nos, rhwng 20:00 o’r gloch a 06:00 o’r gloch. Disgwylir y bydd y gwaharddiadau a’r cyfyngiadau eraill yn weithredol bob dydd am 24 o oriau hyd 06:00 o’r gloch ar 30 Ebrill 2026 neu hyd nes y caiff yr arwyddion traffig dros dro eu symud ymaith yn barhaol.

Dim ond yn ystod y cyfnod a bennir uchod y disgwylir i’r gwaharddiadau a’r cyfyngiadau dros dro fod yn weithredol. Er hynny, bydd y Gorchymyn yn parhau’n ddilys am gyfnod o 18 mis ar y mwyaf rhag ofn y bydd angen ailamserlennu’r gwaith neu wneud gwaith canlyniadol neu waith arall. Bydd hysbysiad ymlaen llaw am unrhyw newidiadau i’r amseroedd a’r dyddiadau yn cael ei arddangos cyn gwneud unrhyw waith a ailamserlennir.
