HYSBYSIAD RHEOLEIDDIO TRAFFIG DROS DRO 2026  

HYSBYSIR DRWY HYN bod CYNGOR SIR FYNWY, Neuadd y Sir, y Rhadyr, Brynbuga, NP15 1GA ("y Cyngor") yn Bwriadu gwneud Gorchymyn yn unol â'r pwerau a roddwyd gan Adran 14(1)(a) o Ddeddf Rheoleiddio Traffig Ffyrdd 1984:  

1. Daeth y Gorchymyn i rym ar 13eg Mai 2026 a bydd yn parhau i fod mewn grym am gyfnod nad yw'n hwy na 18 mis. Rhagwelir y bydd angen Gorchymyn cau pellach i ganiatáu i'r bont gael ei chau am 24 mis.  

2. Roedd y Gorchymyn yn angenrheidiol oherwydd nad yw'r bont bellach yn cael ei hystyried yn ddigon sefydlog yn strwythurol i gynnal pwysau cerbydau sy'n 7.5T neu fwy yn ddiogel. Bydd y Gorchymyn yn parhau mewn grym nes bod yr awdurdod wedi cynnal asesiadau manwl pellach ac unrhyw atgyweiriadau angenrheidiol.  

3. Effaith y Gorchymyn oedd cyflwyno Cyfyngiad Pwysau 7.5T dros dro ar ran o'r Bont Gadwyn, B4598 Heol Kemeys, Comander Kemeys, Sir Fynwy, ar gyfer y Bont Gadwyn gyfan, sef pellter o tua 100m.  

4. Gellir cyfeirio at y gorchymyn hwn fel Gorchymyn Rheoleiddio Traffig Dros Dro Cyfyngiad Pwysau 7.5T Pont y Gadwyn, B4598 Heol Kemeys, Comander Kemeys, Sir Fynwy, Sir Fynwy 2026.  

5. Yn sgil Adran 16(1) Deddf Rheoleiddio Traffig Ffordd 1984 bydd person sy'n torri cyfyngiad neu waharddiad a osodir dan Adran 14 y Ddeddf yn euog o drosedd.
