THE "NEW MIDLANDS ROAD" TO SOUTH WALES. MACHINE LAID UNREINFORCED CONCRETE CARRIAGEWAYS

Details are given of the design and construction of the third section of the New Midlands Road. This five-mile-long section starts just north of Raglan and ends east of Usk. The line of the road follows an abandoned railway track. Dual two-lane unreinforced concrete carriageways are provided to near motorway standard and vehicular access is limited to the two-level interchanges at Usk and Raglan. Attention is drawn to the construction methods and equipment used.
