## Description
The Cynon Gateway is a long-standing aspiration for RCTCBC, initially conceived as a key strategic link to the Welsh Govt A465 dualling scheme and included as part of the wider scheme but to be delivered by RCTCBC. The aspiration was and remains to construct a link road to connect the A4059 Aberdare Bypass, east of Penywaun to a new roundabout at Croesbychan (constructed as part of the A465 heads of valleys scheme). 
The proposed scheme seeks to reduce traffic through the communities of Llwydcoed and Penywaun, as well as create an important new gateway to the Cynon Valley and complement the dualling of the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road.
The proposed scheme is located approximately 2.6 km north west of Aberdare and lies between the communities of Llwydcoed to the east and Penywaun to the west.
This notice sets out the process the Council intends on following under the Competitive Flexible Procedure.
