A465 road
The A465 is a major road in south Wales. That part of it westwards from Abergavenny is more commonly known as the Heads of the Valleys Road (also known as the Neath to Abergavenny Trunk Road)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A465 HEADS OF THE VALLEYS DUALLING SECTION 3: BRYNMAWR TO TREDEGAR )〕 because it joins together the northern ends (or 'heads') of the South Wales Valleys. It approximately follows the southern boundary of the Brecon Beacons National Park, and an Ordnance Survey ''Pathfinder'' guide describes it as the unofficial border between rural and industrial South Wales.〔OS Pathfinder Guide, Brecon Beacons and Glamorgan. Ordnance Survey 1994.〕 It provides a more direct and toll-free route between Northern England and the Midlands to South West Wales and Ireland.〔(Welsh Government - A465 (Heads of the Valleys Road) - Dualling Scheme )〕
==Route==
The A465 runs southwest from Bromyard towards Hereford. It joins the A4103 just before Hereford. It starts again at Hereford, crosses the Wales-England border over the River Monnow, continues south-west to Abergavenny then west to Brynmawr, then continues west through the heads of the valleys region, past Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Rhymney, Merthyr Tydfil, Hirwaun and Glynneath. Near Glynneath, the road heads down along the floor of the Vale of Neath bypassing Resolven, Neath and Skewen before terminating at its junction with the M4 motorway, junction 43, at Llandarcy.
Until 1996, the A465 ran for most of its length in the Vale of Neath – between Glynneath and Aberdulais – along a narrow single-carriageway road, now redesignated as the B4242. The high accident rate on this stretch was one of the factors leading to the construction of a new dual-carriageway section (the "Missing Link") between these points. All of the final section of the A465, from Hirwaun to Llandarcy, is now, therefore, dual carriageway.〔(HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1990s → 1992 → June 1992 → 8 June 1992 → Written Answers (Commons) → WALES )〕〔(http://eclecs.blogspot.com/2006/07/where-is-resolfen.html Cymdeithas Hanes Resolfen History Society )〕
