A483 road

The A483 is a major trunk road in the United Kingdom, running primarily through Wales and England. It connects the M4 motorway near Swansea in South Wales to the A55 near Chester in England. It serves as a crucial north-south transportation artery, facilitating travel between major Welsh cities and connecting Wales to the English motorway network.

The road passes through or near several significant towns and cities, including Swansea, Ammanford, Llandeilo, Llandovery, Builth Wells, Llandrindod Wells, Newtown, Welshpool, Oswestry, and Wrexham. The route features a mix of single and dual carriageway sections, and its character varies considerably along its length, ranging from urban stretches to more rural, winding sections through mountainous terrain.

The A483 is a vital road for commercial traffic, tourism, and local residents. It provides access to a variety of attractions, including national parks, historical sites, and market towns. Due to its importance, the A483 has been subject to various improvement schemes over the years, aimed at improving safety, reducing congestion, and increasing capacity. The road remains a significant component of the Welsh and West Midlands road network.
