GORCHYMYN CEFNFFORDD YR A48 
(PEN-SARN I BONT ABRAHAM, SIR GAERFYRDDIN) 
(GWAHARDDIADAU A CHYFYNGIADAU TRAFFIG DROS DRO) 2026

MAE GWEINIDOGION CYMRU yn bwriadu gwneud Gorchymyn o dan adran 14 o Ddeddf Rheoleiddio Traffig Ffyrdd 1984 ymhen dim llai na 7 niwrnod i ddyddiad yr Hysbysiad hwn. Mae angen y Gorchymyn arfaethedig er mwyn diogelu defnyddwyr y ffordd ac er mwyn gwneud gwaith ar gefnffordd yr A48, neu gerllaw iddi, rhwng Cylchfan Pen-sarn a Chylchfan Pont Abraham yn Sir Gaerfyrddin.

Effaith y Gorchymyn arfaethedig fydd gwneud y canlynol dros dro:
(1) Gwahardd pob cerbyd rhag mynd ar y darnau o gefnffordd yr A48 a ddisgrifir yn Atodlen 1 i’r Hysbysiad hwn. Disgrifir y llwybrau eraill yn yr Atodlen honno hefyd.

(2) Gosod terfyn cyflymder o naill ai 50 mya, 40 mya neu 10 mya ar y darnau o gefnffordd yr A48 a ddisgrifir yn Atodlen 2 i’r Hysbysiad hwn.

Dim ond yn ystod gwaith confoi y disgwylir y bydd y terfyn cyflymder o 10 mya yn gymwys ac ni chaniateir goddiweddyd ar yr adegau hyn.

Daw’r Gorchymyn i rym am 00:01 o’r gloch ar 16 Mehefin 2026. Disgwylir y bydd y gwaharddiadau a’r cyfyngiadau dros dro yn weithredol yn ysbeidiol, pan fydd hynny’n cael ei ddangos gan arwyddion traffig, tan 23:59 o’r gloch ar 1 Rhagfyr 2027, neu hyd nes y caiff yr arwyddion traffig dros dro eu symud ymaith yn barhaol. Bydd y Gorchymyn yn parhau’n ddilys am gyfnod o 18 mis ar y mwyaf.
